hmmm...the note reads, "Kisses for my mom. Happy Mother's Day. Love AJ"....it appeared i'd stumbled upon a Mother's Day gift that never made it to my hands (or mouth, for that matter). i knew by the note that this had been wrapped Hershey's Kisses chocolates from my son and the thoughtful JK/SK teachers. this isn't my first child who has gone through kindergarten, after all, so i sort of knew what to expect. it struck me as a little odd when AJ didn't appear that Sunday morning a few weeks back with a small gift he'd made for me at school. there was a sweet card, so that was great, and i didn't give it another thought. until this morning when i made his bed and tidied his room and saw the evidence on the floor. right there in glaring pink. we took a picture and then i decided to ask AJ about it. here's how that went....
Me: "hey AJ, what is that pink paper and ribbon from?"
AJ: "oh, it's from the candy thing"...matter of factly
Me: "candy thing...well, where is the candy?"
AJ: "in our tummies"....picture the big eyes, serious expression.
Me: "tummies? whose tummies?"
AJ: "me and Hudson."
Me: "was that for mommy?"
AJ: "yah...that's why it is our fault..." head tilted with apologetic squished up cheeks.
alrighty then. a kid who can acknowledge his mistakes when confronted by them is a good thing, right? now, the older brother eventually did the same, although not quite as forthcoming with the truth right from the start. but he got there....never dull here, that much is true...and these are moments that make me thankful i have this little ol' blog...should be fun to look back on someday. didn't need the chocolate anyway....
