more mother's day

(I told you, we've got this digital camera now!)

Henry came home from school yesterday with a present for me. I was genuinely surprised and thrilled. Because he had missed the 2 weeks of school before Mother's Day, I did not expect any sort of handmade wonderful treat. But his teacher is so terrific...

So first, the card. Clearly they only provided "girly" stickers for him to use. His stickers of choice to decorate anything would be Power Rangers or some other superheroes. The front said "Happy Mother's Day" written in teacher handwriting, but you can see that he wrote his own name on the inside:

Then the gift. The funny thing is that he ripped open the tissue paper with excitement. Even though he should have known what was inside!

It is a beautifully framed Henry hand print:



Here is a photo of my beautiful boys, ready to leave for Grandma's on Sunday morning. This photo is a keeper, as they are both smiling nicely and looking at the camera, and Henry's eyes aren't all scrunched up.

That is a great Mother's Day gift! I got some Roo hand prints too. I love the picture!!! I know you said that you need to get a hair cut for Tommy, but I love it the way it is now. He looks like such a big boy...so handsome!

That's a great picture of the boys! Both looking AND smiling! What's your trick? Boo is the eye scruncher and Gabe looks away. lol

I love how they framed Henry's handprint too. Sounds like you had a wonderful Mother's Day :o)

C scrunches his eyes too. What's up with that!? I thought he was just being silly but after reading your blog and these comments, it must be an ASD thing. SIGH.

Your boys are *adorable*.

I linked to you on my latest post. I hope that's okay??
