Paint the Sun

February 02, 2006 | Category: Mother to the First Power



Me to Bear this morning: I'm really tired of gray skies, buddy. Wouldn't it be nice if we got some sun?

Bear to me: Well, Mommy. How about when I get home we'll paint the sun on a BIG piece of paper from the craft store and you can tape it on the window?

Me: Wow, that's a great idea, Bear. The only thing is that pictures don't glow and feel warm...

Bear: No, but we can put all the lights on and then you can hug me and we'll make cupcakes.

So when you ask yourself why you quit your job and faced potential financial ruin, just re-read this post and you'll have a very compelling answer.

I just love that boy, what a doll.

My sister often sings "You are my sunshine" to her boys when she puts them to bed. When skies are gray, children seem able to find light and warmth where we don't see them.

That's what I'm missing! Cupcakes. I need a pick-me-up, too.

Gosh, I hope you gave that Bear a zillion hugs after that.
