New meaning is brought to the day! I have always felt I appreciate my mama year round so I didn't know how being on the receiving end of the actual holiday would feel or if I would even care. But I found myself looking forward to the day almost like it was my birthday or Christmas. Then when it came I felt so happy and proud. It's beyond amazing being a mother and it's cool to get to appreciate myself in addition to my own mama and mother in law. But it was also kind of confusing--is Mother's Day for moms to be appreciated or for moms to get to spend the day appreciating that they have a child? So far, Dahlia doesn't make me feel like she needs to appreciate me. It's the other way around. But whatever. I love Mother's Day.
The seven of us had brunch at a nice restaurant in Danville. We sat amidst some shady redwoods, a fountain, tons of happy moms (I was one of them!!!) and perfect weather. Little Miss Dahlia Rae timed her naps just right so she was alert and happy for our whole meal. Until we were leaving which is when we decided to take pictures.
I am so glad to hear you had a great Mother's Day. You are glowing in your pictures which just shows how happy and proud you are. It's still a little unreal to me that I am a mom, so it was weird when we were out and people were wishing me a happy mother's day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Mother's Day Kelita! It is pretty neat that you are a mom now and to such a fabulous baby too! I am enjoying reading the Lasky's posts about your lovely baby. The next time I see her I'm gonna tickle her so that I get to see her awake.
