My Beautiful Boy

My eldest child Tom is an absolute joy.  He a such a kind, thoughtful boy always happy to help and thinking of others.  Well, mostly anyway.  He is a nine year old boy with nine-year-old-boy attitude at times but on the whole he is a wonderful child and I feel thankful he is mine.

This week Tom came home with a Mother's Day card that he forgot to bring home in time for Mother's Day.  Inside was a poem he had written all by himself.  Here it is :

Dear Mum,

If you were a star

And I was your shine,

I'd wrap you in my gold coat

And make you mine.

If you were a book

And I was the pages,

Dad would be stuck reading 

For ages and ages.

If you were a tree

And I was a leaf,

I'd hold on to you tight

So you don't come to grief.

If you were a volcano

And I was the gas,

We'd blow up together

And really annoy Cass.

I love it.  It is lovely and funny and a little obscure.  It warms my heart and makes me even more proud that this gorgeous boy is mine.  I also like the way that he was a little mischievious and teased his sister a bit.  She read the poem and was annoyed so I guess it had the desired effect.

It has been a busy week here with David still home, still waiting to start on his new project. Hopefully he won't be waiting too much longer, the time off has been lovely but after two weeks of being at home he is keen to be employed again !!!

Abbey and I did some baking today.  We made my favorite muffins, Raspberry and Coconut Muffins.  They are really yummy but they had a rather strange effect on poor Abbey.

How cute is that ?
