And then my heart sang like a chorus of little angels sent down from heaven specifically to sing this song

This morning my beloved son, light of my life/apple of my eye/person I treasure most in all the world, said to me the words that all mothers of early-rising toddlers LONG to hear...

"Mommy, don't want to get up, want to go back to bed."

I nearly wept with happiness.

He also said: "don't want to go to school", but that's not unusual, he says that every day.

However, because he has a bit of a cough and I am privileged to have the full time help of the magnificent Brenda, not to mention that I let him get away with murder, I decided that he could actually stay at home today. I mean why not, yeah?

So when I left for work, he was sitting eating toast in his pjs watching In the Night Garden.

Jackson, if the older you is ever reading this...DO YOU SEE WHAT A NICE MOM I AM? Now go and tidy your room.

5 little Jacksons:

Really, Jackson has NO reason to complain. He looks so relaxed there sitting, eating his toast - I want some toast now too!

Jeanette said...

LOL hope he tells you the same thing tomorrow and doesn't wake up at 5am!

Wenchy said...
