What do I want for my birthday? To travel would be the first thing off my mind, maybe. Other than that, I am not in "want" of anything right now. I'm in good health, my boys are happy and healthy. My dad and my siblings are all doing well. Nothing I can ask for really. Oh, maybe a good eight to ten-hour straight sleep! That would do! That's officially my birthday wish for this year.
Yesterday morning, my son borrowed my cell phone to call his dad--he asked his dad to bring him out so he can go shopping for mommy's present. I tagged along, but after dinner, Roo declared that I should go somewhere else so he can buy me a surprise gift. That was totally fine with me, it's not very often that my son gives me the freedom to be all alone by myself--you see, we are like twins, the siamese conjoined kind, that go together everywhere. When we met up about half an hour later, he was beside himself with excitement!
Mommy! I bought you a birthday present, here, open it!
He knows my birthday is not til Thursday yet, but he just can't wait! He told his dad that he was sure mommy would love his present. And so, the whole evening after we got home, and the rest of the night before bedtime, and right after he woke up this morning, I had to listen to the same thing. Through the whole discussion that it's not my birthday yet, I managed to 'guess' what he got me, and he had to convince me to think it's something else, so that I will still be surprised. Bless his heart, my dear, adorable Roo!
Oh well, he pleaded, and begged, and implored with tears in his eyes for me to open his present. Now! Guess why? He got a toy for mommy, and he wants mommy to share it with him! Ha, ha! We finally agreed that we'll open it tonight, actually, he'll open it for me. It will be the perfect present for me I know, just anticipating the joy in his eyes when he finally can get to "share" his present with me.
