Chocolate with Wings for Mothering Sunday
March 30, 2014
On last weekend’s shopping trip Dylan wanted to get me something for Mother’s Day, so I set the budget and closed my eyes whilst he hunted for something and hid it in the trolley, telling the check-out person at the end to hide it too!
I’ve just retrieved ‘the chocolates’ from the bookshelf in Dylan’s room, as instructed. Surprise! ❤

Dylan: I want to give David a present. What can I give him? Can I buy him something?
Mum: No. You can make him something though.
Dylan: I’ve got a GREAT idea!
Mum: What’s that?
Dylan: We can do some painting again – you can do a picture for the cleaner, and I can do a picture for David!
Mum: OK. What will you paint?
Dylan: I’ll paint him a picture of the submarine we went on, because he’s not going on it.

Hearts and badges
June 2, 2013
Mum: What’s this in your book bag?
Son: Oh that’s from Lucy from her holiday. It’s a heart and she writed my name on it. Leo and Jaimie got badges but she only had two badges so she gave the rest of us boys hearts.
Jaimie said he was going to ask his mum if they could go to a shop and buy some more badges so I could have one.

Surprise!

D: I’ve got something in my book bag that’s a surprise for Mother’s Day on Sunday – so you have NOT got to look in it until I’ve got it out and put it upstairs.
Me: OK.
[Comes into kitchen with a piece of paper in both hands]
D: You can see THIS picture I did – it’s a picture of a blue whale for you.
[D hands me the picture and exits the kitchen]
Me: Great – thanks.
D: You didn’t see the card I had in my other hand, did you?
Me: No.
D: Good. I’m going to hide it in my bedroom.
[Goes upstairs]…
[Comes back downstairs]
D: You know my story CDs?
Me: Yes?
D: I’ve hidded the card with them – don’t look at it will you, when you put a story CD on tonight?
Me: OK – I won’t look.

Turtle – Feb 2013
D: I did that in the School holidays. It’s for you – don’t take the bow off though, it’s to show it’s a present. It’s a turtle present for you, because I didn’t make you a card on your birthday.
