I hope it's been a wonderful day for everyone :) My 9 year old surprised me with breakfast in bed! He did it all by himself, too. I heard him talking in the kitchen, saying things like "what else what else...cereal, perfect!" and things like that. I thought he was talking with his dad at first, but never heard the deeper sound of the hubby, so I got up to look. He turned around and saw me, and said "Moooom! Go back to bed! I'm fixing you breakfast!" lol So I obliged. Then he yelled from the other room "Where's the trays". It was just so special. He made me toast, bacon he cooked in the microwave, a bowl of cereal and a huge glass of sweet iced tea. My husband was also shocked since he had planned to help. It was the first time our kid fixed a meal on his own. :)
He's just growing up so fast *sniffles*
Then we went outside to garden a bit. He found an earthworm and started gushing about it, what species it was, what is related to, other creatures we might find, etc. etc. etc. My husband rolled his eyes at the exaggerated never-ending fact spewing and finally told our boy "yeh yeh, we got it, we got it". At that point, my boy looked at him, sniffed a little and said "Dad, you just don't appreciate my genius". HAHAHA Smartass little cuss, too :)
