Dennis made the cutest Mother's Day card at Sunday School this morning, and I asked him about it, eagerly anticipating my very own card made by him. He told me "I made it for Daddy." Oh, well. I hope David is having a happy Mother's Day. They took me out to eat at the Chinese buffet today and we had a nice meal there. Dennis was pretty good while we were there. He put his fingers up over his eyes and said "look, I made my very own sunglasses!". His fortune cookie was EXTREMELY appropriate (weirdly so).
We headed to the lake again to deliver the cards Dennis made for his grandmothers. Becky had just finished making a batch of banana pudding, and we enjoyed some refreshment on her screened porch. Gran and Dennis gave each other fencing lessons with fly swatters, and Dennis asked if he could go fishing and for a boat ride (he sensed the approach of nap time). It's a perfect day, sunny with temps in the high 60's (maybe actually 70, but it feels pretty cool).
We talked a lot about mothers at church this morning, how one of the closest things to God's love that we experience here in our lifetime is a mother's unconditional love. Our sermon was from Corinthians, the love chapter, and I remembered again that I have a lot to learn about loving the right way. Being a mother is the most wonderful experience of my life, and I want to learn how to be more patient and a better example for Dennis to follow.
When asked what he learned in church today, Dennis replied "I learned about snatching toys!". He wouldn't elaborate. The teachers said he'd been good, though, so perhaps he was the snatchee instead of the snatcher. Let's hope that's the case.
