Mum's The Word

Happy Mother's Day to Mums (and even Moms) the world over.

Wifey had a lovely first Mother's Day yesterday. Sweetums woke her up with breakfast in bed (she got to order her meal from a specially written menu he'd prepared for her), and then he gave her a present. The card attached was home-made, and this is what it said on the front:

"To the best Mum in the world!"

Each letter was coloured in a different colour. Then inside, it said:

"Dear Mummy, Have a lovely first Mother's Day! Lots of love always, Sweetums."

Sweetums actually signed his name himself (with a little help from Daddy), so his scribbled attempt at writing his own name really added to the 'sweetness' of it. And his hand prints filled the centre of the card - bright blue paint on a yellow card, with "Sweetums, aged 7 months" written underneath his paw prints.

He gave his Mummy a lot of extra hugs and kisses yesterday, and Daddy took care of all the baby-handling duties for the entire day, giving Mummy a rest.

Today, of course, it was business as usual.
