How Nate Sees Me...

I just got home from a Mother's Day Tea at Nate's school.  The reality of the morning is that I couldn't get both boys out of the house on time (it is hard to convince them to get ready faster - I think that makes a 3 yr old move slower - and get to school 30 mins earlier!) so by the time we showed up 15 mins late I was too frazzled to sit and sip tea and enjoy the food.  And I also forgot my camera.  And Matthew wasn't very happy just sitting in his stroller...or being held.  (Nate's teacher actually told me to "take a deep breath" as soon as I walked in the door...guess my "play it cool" act wasn't working.) 

Besides the craziness of getting there...the actual time in the class with Nate was really sweet.  The teachers read what the kids said about us and we had to guess who said what.  I admit, I didn't guess Nate's...even when he mentioned his name in one of the questions I thought it was the other Nathan in the class.  Here is what Nate says about me (the RED text are his words):

My Mom has Blue eyes and Brown hair.
My Mom weighs 4 lbs and is 2 ft tall.
My Mom is 4 yrs old.  (I really thought he would say 16 for this one because he always talks about how you have to be 16 to drive a car.)
My Mom is prettiest when she does her toenails.
My Mom likes to work. (??)
My Mom likes me to help her be good.
When I am nice she loves me.
I like it best when my mom cooks noodles.
I don't like it when she cooks Brussel Sprouts, they are icky.
My mom thinks I am Nathan, just Nathan.
I love my mom because she makes dreams come true.

I have no idea where that last answer came from but I'll take it!!

Okay...Im going to cry. That was so sweet. I want Jack to do that too. (and doesn't it just tense you up more when someone tells you to" take a deep breathe"?...ha!)
