Mom's Day

It was Mom's Day at Cole's preschool today. So, I donned his backpack, Cole took a picture, and we headed off to preschool where I got to spend the whole morning in Cole's world. We had a great time playing, making crafts, meeting friends, and reading stories. Cole even made me the cutest rainbow bracelet I have ever seen, and I love it :)

In honor of the moms visiting school all of the kids answered some questions to spotlight their mom. Here is what cole said about me:

I laughed so hard I cried when I heard this. I also realized a lot from this:

*In Cole's eyes I am a huge 3 yr old. A giraffe? Really Cole? At least he didn't say I weigh just like a hippo. And his teacher was nice enough to cross out "pounds" :)

*Cole doesn't constantly think about himself. He was the only kid to realize that moms don't love all of the same things their kids do, and he thought about his answers. All of the other kids put their own favorite food and colors, not their moms. Cole's answers to the food and color are not accurate, but at least they aren't his own.

*I must play more than I work. The majority of the kids said their moms like to clean or do laundry, probably because that is what they do all day.

*I knew Cole was a goof, but "a frog and ladybugs"? Miss Stacy said "You must have a problem with frogs and ladybugs at your house." Everyone laughed. And then I realized, we do get frogs and ladybugs in our house, but if you know Cole he will not go near a bug so that is not what he helps me with. This proves he will say anything to get a laugh :)

*Cole must misinterpret everything I tell him. I'm pretty sure I have never asked Cole to hold a caterpillar or told him that I like it. In fact I remember telling him NOT to touch the caterpillars this summer when his cousins were smashing them with their fingers.

*Cole doesn't hold grudges. I'm pretty sure I get mad at Cole on a daily basis and he couldn't think of ANYTHING that I don't like him too do? He is either very forgiving or very forgetful :) I guess I shouldn't get mad that I have to lecture him on the same things over and over.

*Cole is the sweetest, most loving, and hilarious little guy! I am so lucky to have him!

Thanks for letting me go to school with you today Cole. I had so much fun and you took such good care of me so I wasn't nervous :) I love you so much and I am glad that you are my little buddy!
