Mother's Day will always have a special place in my heart because my son (and firstborn) was born on Mother's Day 2009. I remember lamenting (I lamented A LOT when pregnant, I was one cranky preggo lady) in early May that since our son was due 5/28, I'd have to wait a whole year to actually be a mother on Mother's Day. Well, my son had a special surprise for us. My water broke at 7 am and at 3pm, he had arrived and I got to be a bonafide Mommy :)
My Mother's Day gifts: my babies (the BEST gift) and some lovely preschool artwork that I will proudly hang in my cube:
Top: Artwork and kiddos playing with water balloons & sidewalk chalk (why they're both looking down)
Bottom: "Flowers" from V and sibling love
We ate a dim sum breakfast, Korean lunch, and a masterfully prepared dinner by my Mother (this lady floors me everyday with how amazing she is. We are SO LUCKY to have her living with us!):
Top: Lo Mai Gai, Surf & Turf dinner cooked with love by my mother (rib eye, crab stuffed clam, lobster tail)
Middle: Siu Mai, Lobster Congee
Bottom: A gigantic Bibimbap wrap and Bibimbap bowl
I am so blessed to be a mother. These 2 little beings are our everything <3
My favorite kiddo moments this year:
Upon talking about cowboys and cowgirls, V declares that I am neither. I am "Cowmommy"
When he wants a hug, he says "I want to love you Mommy" and opens his arms wide
V asked for the remote and I asked him, "What do you say when you want something?" Baby E jumps up and said, "Please!" (sounded more like PEAS), but we all cracked up. We had no idea that she had learned that from watching us interact with V.
Related to the above, E also learned "cheese" at the same time. Whenever I want to take a picture of her, I tell her to go over there and say "cheese". She gets quite a kick out of it and is turning into quite a ham with the camera.
Whenever we watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (which is ALL the time), Mickey asks, "Would you like to come inside my clubhouse?" To which E always responds with a emphatic "NO." That's right, E, avoid those strangers!!
I hope everyone had a lovely Mother's Day!
Happy (belated) Mother's Day to you, S!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all your stories with your kids! So cute. The last one cracked me up, hahaha.
I'm probably the only Chinese person who finds dim sum so so, but that lobster congee looks SO GOOD.
What a sweet post and your babies are darling. Your day looked amazing gastronomically (LOBSTER congee? How does that taste?!) And your mother's homecooked dinner looks like it can rival any 5 star steak & seafood house.

Looks like you had an amazing Mother's Day weekend! Your children are growing up so fast. I enjoyed reading your favourite kiddo moments. : ) All of the food you had look DELICIOUS! I love lobster congee! My boyfriend's parents are from Eastern Canada and always bring home a fresh batch of lobsters and we'd have a feast eating lobster-everything for a week.

ReplyDeleteAnd mother's day 2009 holds some memories for me.. I was due a day or two before with P, but he hadn't come yet, and I was just tired of being pregnant and wishing that I had a baby for mother's day. We went out to dinner with family and my uncle joked about not having a new baby in time for mother's day, and I just broke down at the huge dinner table and starting crying in front of everybody. So embarrassing.
