mommy ftw.

Savannah is a pretty easy child.  Occasionally she can get sassy, and sometimes she feels picked on and whines...but it is easily fixed.

This week ended up being an "all about Savannah week".

Last week it seemed like it was "all about Sabrina week".

Devin manages his time in there somewhere, and Paul really gets the short end of the stick.  I am still trying to figure out how to manage my time for Daddy.

We spent a lot of time on Savannah's big earth worm project for science. She was sure proud of her poster, and enjoyed practicing in front of all of us.

Savannah has been whining that I never come volunteer in her class.  I would say she is being dramatic, but it is true.  I try to avoid doing classroom help, and like to make up for it in little gifts for her teachers instead. This week I volunteered not once, but twice in her classroom...she was one happy girl when I surprised her both days.

One day I checked her out of school 45 minutes early {which she thought was hours} so that I could take her to a late lunch with Devin and I.  She beamed.  One day I even took her a happy meal for her lunch at school, instead of making her eat what I had packed from home!!

Friday I was the first car in the car pool lane to pick up.  Do you know what that means people?  I had to get to her school an hour early and sit in my car.  It was totally worth it when I saw Savannah thrilled to be the first student pull out of the parking lot. After that I told her that I had saved Devin's nap for when she got home so that her and I could have a "movie party". I had picked up treats from the gas station, popped popcorn, and let her eat on my side of the bed. :)

Tonight she really wanted me to set up the pack-n-play in her room for her baby doll. I didn't want to, but I did it anyways...because it really isn't that hard to do {I just like to complain}.

I hope she remembers all these things next week when I am little grumpy and feeling off, or when I have to tell her she has to go to bed early.  Most likely she won't. The good thing is, I never get sick of showing those people I love just how much you mean to me.

You are such a good Mommy! I think Savannah will definitely remember these extra special moments you give her. :)

You don't think they remember, but Hailey will bring up little things I did for her two or three years ago sometimes, and it reminds me that it's totally worth it. I promise she remembers. Just not at that moment when you make her go to bed early. :)
