"Mom, I have a surprise for you"

June 11, 2010
Pearl came in as I was nursing Cole and told me, "Mom, I have a surprise for you." Thinking the worst had happened, like sprinkles strewn all over the floor (she had been begging me to make cupcakes with her all morning) or that she had broken something, I cautiously asked her what the surprise was. "I made your bed!" was her eager reply. I was pleasantly surprised indeed and for a three-year-old I think she did a pretty good job.
