Mother's Day is right around the corner. Charlie has been talking about what he wants to get for Mommy. Charlie's voice sounds just like Jamie's and he has this amazing ability to talk with his mouth closed. We have not narrowed down exactly what we are going to surprise her with, but I am sure that she will be happy since it is her first official Mother's Day. We might let Mommy sleep in for a while, or maybe make her breakfast in bed, but most likely not. Daddy has to work that day.
Mother's Day in the United States was officially created by Anna Jarvis. Anna wanted a day to honor our mothers. The holiday became very commercialized and soon became known as a "Hallmark Holiday". Anna even called it a "Hallmark Holiday". Anna was not happy with what had become of Mother's Day and even began to oppose the day.
We should honor our mothers every day, but it is nice to declare a day that puts more focus on our mothers and reminds us that they brought us in to the world and they can take us out. Moms are typically pretty easy to please when it comes to gifts from their child. I could probably give Charlie a marker and let him scribble random lines on a homemade card and Jamie would be ecstatic. I need to keep those ideas to myself. That would have been a good one.
Charlie, in his ventriloquist like voice, told me that we should get Mommy a necklace with his name and birthday on it. He even pulled up the website to show me exactly what it was. My child is a prodigy. I am absolutely amazed at how advanced he is for a four month old. Daddy liked the necklace, but Daddy is cheap and thinks the homemade scribble card is a much better idea. It is from the heart and that is what really matters. I am just kidding. Mommy gets just about anything she wants.
It's not about the gifts. The gifts are just concrete items that represent our appreciation. It is about the hugs and kisses that moms love to receive from their babies. I am well into my 20's and my mom still considers me her baby. No matter how old or young you are, show your mom some love on Sunday. Happy Mother's Day to all of you new moms, soon-to-be moms and future moms.
Gentleman, Father's Day comes after Mother's Day for a reason. If you want cool new toys, treat Momma right on Sunday.
