What a sweet kid

So I’ve been complaining that daddy and I have been sick. I’ve been trying to keep on top of things, but this every-other-day kindergarten thing is messing with my head. R’s class has been setting up for a celebration of 100 days of school. They have collected 100 items for the food bank, and were all supposed to bring in 100 things to count. (R brought in buttons). The plan was to celebrate with a PJ day, and eating a veggie snack together. So I got her all ready on thursday, and proudly sent her out the door with all her stuff, and promptly went back to bed. So when R come home, she tells me she was the only kid in the class with PJs on. I re-read the sheet, and realized it was on friday…sigh. So I did the adult thing, and appologized to R. She tells me “It’s ok mummy. When kids asked why I was I was in my PJs, I told them, ‘sometimes when you are sick and not feeling well, you forget things (meaning my pooor mom forgot)'”. I was floored. My little girl was defending me! How lucky am I !
