Clue #1

When I dropped Alex off at preschool today there was a new display on the wall. There was a piece of construction paper for each child with a big question mark on the paper and a list of clues under the question mark. No names were on the paper. It is a game for the moms to guess who they are. Clue number one was listed today. Monday there will be a new clue, with another listed on Wednesday. The clues are given by our kids about us. Finally, our pictures, as drawn by our kids will replace the question mark and we will know which mom is which - all in time for Mother's Day. I have a feeling I already know which one is me. I think I know because the color of the construction paper is green, which is Alex's favorite color, and the first clue is "She likes to go to workout class." I started going to a class, two times a week, about three weeks ago, so it is a big deal around here that our night time routine has been slightly altered. I'll let you know if my hunch is right and continue to share the clues. My friend made me laugh because she said she didn't know which one was her because none of them said "She yells at me" or "She never plays with me." Don't we all feel at some point that this must be the way our kids feel about us?

What a fun thing your preschool is doing -- I think it's so neat to see preschooler's drawings of people. Aidan has just started to draw pictures of us, pointing out, "this is you, Mommy, and this is Asher..."

I certainly do go to bed at night wondering what my kids think of me some days, after those hard days where no one seems happy and every task ends in a fit or tears.

Have fun at your workout class -- I'll be thinking of you as I go twice a week, a new thing for me as well. :-) Love, Stephanie
