The mom part of my day:

When the bus comes up the hill, I change like Batman going down into the batcave: I go from a "Mom with Nails" to just "Mom". 

And here is a snapshot of the mom part of my day, which is also my favorite part of the day. Add in a little touch of spring in late February/early March, and it's really about as close to perfect as you can get! 

I have to give him credit for this one: coming up with a most fun way ever to do math homework! 

We got silly last night at bedtime.  He told me "You should never have had that sugar before bed". Hmmm. Wonder where he's heard that before.

After two weeks of tonsillectomy and recovery, I'm so glad to have my boy back. And as always, I'm glad to be......Mom.
