Little Kids Before Mother's Day
Totally inspired by my daughter, who also once told me that my Mother's Day gift was "shaped like a handprint." Gotta love it!
And for more Mother's Day fun, here are some recent cartoons over at NickMom...

WALK somewhere? Don't be ridiculous.
When she was five, my daughter Claire went through this phase where she would roll as her primary means of transportation. Not walk - ROLL.
I would say, "Claire, come brush your teeth!" And she would reply, "I'm comin!" But it would be taking forever. So I would look out into the hall--and there she was, lying on the floor, hands pinned to her side, rolling.
She would accidentally roll into the wall, adjust herself, roll forward, then inevitably hit the wall again. She couldn't seem to roll in a straight line, or make any meaningful progress toward her destination. My patience was tested to the extreme.
This morning, she pulled a new move on me.

Sigh.
Oh well. At least I'm not dealing with a slow-rolling snail.
Yet.
