Mommy Moments

Most of my mommy moments consist of me saying things like, "Don't poot in your sister's closet", but last night I got to have one of those special moments like the ones you see on television and get all misty eyed. My sweet sweet LoLo Monster was a mouse in the his schools production of The Nutcracker. Not only was my sweet boy the cutest mouse by far, he was also the only mouse his age. When it is something he wants to do my son can be quite the charmer and somehow he convinced the teachers to let him be with the big boys during rehearsal. So while all the other parents were trying to figure out who the short kid was I was reveling in the fact that my baby was up there looking just as composed and hitting all the same marks as the big kids.

After he performed and came and sat with us the older kids put on their play, but that was not the end of my children performing. Oh, no. Every time the big kid chorus started to sing, Suga Booga sang. She took out her paci and sang. She pushed it to the side of her mouth and sang. She would not be denied her time in the spotlight. She was not sitting with me, but with her TiTi and since these people don't really know me I leaned over and said, "Man, lady! You need to take care of your kid." It felt good and I snickered as she rolled her eyes at me.

I also had a good time sitting with Husband who always knows how to make me laugh. When the protagonist of the older kid play goes to get her luxurious hair cut off he bends towards me and says, "That ain't nothing but Ultra Perm." I could hardly contain myself. I firmly believe that there is a quote from Coming to America to fit every situation. I still want to try and have a conversation with someone where I only respond with quotes from the movie. (That reminds me I still haven't watched The Big Lebowski, but I digress.)

After the weekend I had it felt good to feel good and I just wanted to share that with you all. See, it does get better.
