Re: Were your mothers day gifts appreciated?
We did handprint cards with a little poem and stickers and whatnot. The 10 month old's mother was really thrilled with it (his had footprints as well, hehe). She was very touched as she is a single mother and unless she bought her own card, wasn't going to have one at all, you know?
I was so sad for my 2 1/2 year old. When his mother came to get him, he grabbed the card and gave it to her and was smiling and so excited. She sat it down. Then he picked it up again and opened the envelope himself to give to her and she stuffed the card back in without looking at it, said "I'll look at this on Sunday" and stuck it in the bag. His poor little face just fell. He had worked really hard on it and was eager for her to see it. I wasn't disappointed for me but for him, bless him. Even my husband commented how bad he felt for the little guy, pointing out that he doesn't understand what Sunday means.
Why is "phonics" not spelled the way it sounds?
