According to my oldest son who is 7 years old, this is how he views me. While at his co-op last week, the teacher had the students fill out a booklet describing their mother. This is my mother. I got the biggest chuckle at how my son viewed me. He is always watching. Ever observant at what I do rather than what I say.
Check out those muscles on me! Trust me, I do NOT have those muscles in real life… but I will gladly accept them if he thinks I have them! Mama is strong! He also knows that Mama likes to run!
My favorite candy is Reece’s pieces. Not necessarily favorite food… but I am a sucker for chocolate and peanut butter treats! And yet… apparently even though I have huge muscles and love to run, I am lazy! Not sure what that means, maybe because I like to sleep in and not wake up at 5AM. Silly boy.
My mother’s favorite sport is running. I look angry. Perhaps I am a focused and determined runner. Maybe I am running with my double jogging stroller and it is getting away from me. Or perhaps it is a rude car/driver who almost ran me over and I am chasing it down with my mad super hero speed!
Oh of course, this is true. My mother and I like to eat. A way to my children’s heart is through their stomach. I just love that he is eating a massive hamburger and I am eating a salad (or maybe a bowl of pasta). Again, he is very detail oriented.
The above is my mama. This photo was taken in Redding, California in 2006. Shortly after I became a mama for the first time. I was wearing my son (who shared his view of me above) while spending quality time with my mom.
Happy Mother’s Day to you amazing Mothers! You deserve to be recognized and appreciated every day! You are loved. You are appreciated. You are Super Mom!
