For days last week Yuri was trying to get me to give him ideas for a mother's day present. The closest I could get was a possible manicure. Maybe. In the end, what I got was a book I liked the look of from the church bookshop. Good because it was something I probably would've bought anyway.

But, the best thing was the present Tommy gave me (albeit under force - he wanted to keep it for himself) that evening. He made a plate with shiny sticky stars on while he was at nursery. It was so cute and definately a step up from his drawings. I think I might have to go and get him a sticker book so I can encourage this artwork.
