DAILY PHOTOS - MARCH 10 2009
Today's the Purim celebration at David's school so all the kids and the teachers were dressed up in costume. Being the great mom that I am, I completely forgot. So I was really thankful when the teachers put together this quickie for David. He even had a crown and all. But he said he's not "king David" he's a prince.

I've also been meaning to write this little story that happened between us last week. It was one of those nights Jake was working late so I had put David to bed and he was being whiny and I was almost at the end of my patience and took a deep breath to make sure I wouldn't blow up at him and changed course. So I slowed down and said "I'm so happy you're my son, David. I love you. Thank you for being my son." There were a few moments of quiet and then he said "You're welcome." and then he said "I'm so happy you're my Mommy." It made me feel so much better and it made me realize the importance of taking a breath and stepping back every now and then.

On another note, today's my best friend Levent's birthday! Happy Birthday my wonderful friend, I love you!!
