Taking care of mom

My Love Zoe,

You had a pouch of fruit chews in your goody bag from a birthday party. You don't like those, and I do. "Mom, you can have the fruit chews since you like them," you said. I was preparing dinner and setting up the table, so I just thanked you, but didn't notice what you did with it. Next day I had a very busy time at work, attending one call after another, getting hungrier and hungrier as the hours went by. I was shuffling in my bag for a tangerine, and I saw the pouch - my salvation! Grateful, I ate up every piece.

I told you the story when I came home. "You snuck it in my bag, I didn't even notice," I said. It triggered something... I could tell you got excited. You stopped what you were doing, eyes focused and satisfied, came quickly to me. Are you going to have one of those many meeting days tomorrow,? you asked. Yes, I said and off you ran. Echo, who was quietly listening to the conversation, followed you. You both took candies from your candy buckets and started putting them in my bag. Echo also put some toys, excited, "I snuck it in!" she declared each time she put something new. You laughed, trying to explain that toys weren't necessary. I suggested we let her out those in as well, since it is a thoughtful thing to do.

You are so thoughtful and take such good care of mama! I love you!

Mommy.
