I have a little anecdote to tell you.  But you have to promise you won’t think less of me once I do.

Promise?

Okay then.  Here goes.

My mom gave me the cutest shirt for my birthday.  Very befitting for a girl like myself who likes to indulge in a glass of vino from time to time.

See?  Told you it was cute (pardon the wrinkles – I wore it to dinner last night).  Anyway, I opened her gift yesterday while Jayce was napping.  Based on the size and feel of the package I had a hunch as to what might be inside so I went ahead and opened it with nary a soul gathered around to see what I got.  And, wouldn’t you know it was precisely what I suspected?  So I, of course, proceeded to change out of my workout clothes and into my chic new t-shirt that speaks volumes is the latest trend.

Jayce woke up a couple of hours later (yes he sleeps for 2 hours – SCORE!) and I went in to rescue him from the confines of his crib.  He’s usually a cheerful waker and yesterday was no exception.  He stood right up to greet me with his customary, bleary-eyed “hi mommy.”  His cheerful little greeting never fails to brighten my day.  I reached my arms out to him and instead of reaching back he pointed to the ”Y” on my shirt and, clear as day, he says, “wine?  Mama’s wine?”

Uh-oh.

This is the child, mind you, who receives weekly speech therapy.  I wonder if the fact that he can not only identify but also clearly speak “wine” should tell me something.

Anywho…

I don’t want to be presumptuous here but I’m thinking that you all know who would make an ideal write-in for the mother of the year award.

And hey, you promised remember?

(If you want a chic t-shirt of your own email me and I’ll let you know where you can get one).
