Present Gift

Some time ago, Luke invented a game called "Present Gift". This game consists of him packaging various toys in different ways, and then giving them to me, pretending it's my birthday. Then, I am expected to reciprocate.

I love Present Gift, because when Luke opens his power rangers stuffed into an old shoebox, he always exclaims, "Oh! I love it! Thank You SOOOO much Mommy! It's just what I wanted!" I figure it's good to practice such graciousness.

Today he made 4 gifts for me, and he was taking forever. I tried to go into his room, but he screamed, "STOP! I'm making your cards!" Sometimes we include cards, and I usually pretend to read them, "Dear Mommy, Happy Birthday, Love Luke" or some such thing. Today, Luke made an artsy card for each of the four gifts, and as I opened the first one to "pretend" read it, I noticed it said "MOM". So did the other 3 cards.

What a sweet present gift.
