Mother and Son day

So hears to my first time blogging.

Last night I decided that instead of going to work, that I would have a work from home day. Then right before bed a thought crossed my mind that I should let my son stay home from summer camp. In the morning I went along with this idea and decided to have a mother and son day. So I took my daughter to the babysitter and my son was ecstatic knowing that he would have mommy all to himself. These are rare occasions especially since my daughter is only 1 and takes more my of time and attention.

Just as we are getting ready  to begin this wonderful day wouldn't you know it here comes life and it's curve balls to put a stop to it. I get a call from my mother asking me to take my father to social security office. When we get there of course the place is beyond crowded and it's only 10:30 in the morning. Two hours go by and my son doesn't seem phased that are day was being ruined. He was to busy playing with two boys that he now calls friend. It's amazing the innocence of children. The mother of the two boys and I exchanged numbers are  hoping to plan a future play date. Once the kids left, then the whining began mommy when are we leaving. This went on until 2:30 and $6 later on the metered parking when we finally left. My poor father was still there waiting but I sent in another family member to do the waiting with him, while I tried to save what is left of mother and son day.

What could we do, the day was almost gone and it would be time to pick up my daughter. So it finally came to me let's go to the beach. I called my husband and told him to pick my daughter up because mother and son day will happen. My son excited  got ready and packed before me. We get there and it was perfect.  The water was calm and crystal clear like the Caribbean. We swam , collected several sea rocks and had a great time. I even got the chance to throw in a little science fact about the workings of low and high tide with the rise of the moon. My son is only 5 so I had to put it in words he could understand. I explained that what we where swimming in is the beach  and the dark far stuff is the ocean. So when the moon comes out it makes the ocean go towards the beach and when the sun comes out it makes the beach go back to the ocean. He really picked up on that. Tomorrow I plan on looking up how we can make a little experiment and further teach him about this for the whole week. I will let you know how that goes. So at the end of the day I get a huge hug and a long kiss followed by a mommy I enjoyed being with you today. My heart fluttered and I hit that curveball life gave me out of the park.
