It's Mother's Day!
When I was growing up, my family very definitely did not celebrate either Mother's or Father's day. It just wasn't something we did...kind of like how my parents didn't have Valentine's Day celebrations (...that I know of... O_o). But Matthew and I talked about it, and we've decided to do the celebration thing because that's how we roll. So this morning we went out to breakfast at our favourite local place, and Matthew gave me a beautiful pencil drawing that he'd done of Xander. I love it!
Anyway, it seemed fitting that today my dance session should be done with Xander in the living room to the music of the "Ponyo" credits (Ponyo is Xander's favourite movie. It has even surpassed Doctor Who, and that's saying something. Here's a taste of the lyrics for the uninitiated: "Ponyo Ponyo Ponyo, Fishy in the sea, tiny little fishy, who could you really be? Ponyo Ponyo Ponyo, Magic set you free, Oh, she's the little girl with the round belly." Or something like that anyway. There's also a kiddie-rap. It's delightful!). Xander and I bounced around the living room and I skipped and galloped and capered and got entirely out of breath. It was great. I look forward to many more years of romping in the living room with my little man. Being a mama is wonderful (about 78% of the time).
Hope the "Mummy"s out there have a lovely Mother's Day!
