Last week my daughter wanted me to just lay on the bed with her for a while. We relaxed, we talked and we just spent some time together doing absolutely nothing. She decided that we should do a mother-daughter activity some time soon. I thought that was a great idea and we decided on lunch.
The next weekend arrived and she was all excited. We decided we should try to do something “spa-like” before our lunch date. We did each other’s nails. She decorated mine with flowers and, aside from cotton ball fuzz sticking to the polish, I think they looked pretty good. She picked the spot for lunch and we left the boys behind.
At our table for two, we talked about how school was going, how she was enjoying her activities and if she was OK with me being away so much. I had one of those proud mother moments when she told me that she was really happy for me because I was going after something that I have always wanted to do. She reminded me that this was one of my dreams and how I am always telling them to do that. What a great kid! It could also be the fact that I am not home telling her what to do!
Lunch was very nice and I even splurged for dessert. We got some deep-fried ice cream (which was huge) and shared it.
The November day was beautiful and we ended our special time with some fun in the playground. These are the moments where all the craziness of life makes it all worth while.
