fashion show mama’s day

collage # 168 here.
***
Despite the supposed fact that every day is Mother’s Day (ahem!), today your family is bound by law to honor and cherish you. Have you been celebrating by being absolved of your mother-ly duties? We’ve been pretty low key here today - a yummy homemade pancake brunch with Fifth Aunt Grandma K, followed by an afternoon of sculpting fertility goddesses in my likeness. You too?
You will be happy to know, however, that I did perform my motherly duty of dressing Otis up today. We’re starting to get some pretty glorious California weather around here, although there can still be a slight chill in the mornings, so we are still layering. But summer is definitely just around the corner - cherries filled the Farmer’s Market, and the peaches and nectarines are just making their first appearances.
Enjoy the rest of your day!

I can’t handle the cute!
Where did you get that hat? I have to get one for Harlan (although I’ll have to staple it on to prevent him from tearing it off).
Happy Mother’s day.
I got to have alone time to work on sewing, and had cupcakes.

I love how French he looks in his little hat and his striped shirt.
Fertility goddesses, huh?

Ok, I’ve been reading your site for a while now, and I feel too stalkerish that I never comment…Otis is soooo cute, I love this outfit. He is such a good little model…Thanks for sharing his cuteness and your wonderful collages

Let’s talk about motherly duties … I cleaned, packed, carried, lugged, pushed, vaccumed, etc, etc and moved my daughter home from college for the summer break. She made me my most favorite Mother’s Day gift - a collage of her pictures. (Want to see? Check my blog.) Life is good!
BTW, I love Otis’ outfit :)

Happy Mother’s Day to you! And Otis is simply adorable, as usual.

My mother, who is from Taiwan, never taught me english, because she was trying to learn it herself. My father who is white and American does not speak chinese. Now, as a 30-year-old adult woman, I wish she would have spoken with me– even a little.
I’m trying to learn chinese on my own now and wish she would have spoken with me more as a child. I know times were different then. I encourage you to continue speaking with your child– even if it’s with the little that you can say. I wish my mother had.
