Don't be jealous...

that your child is not in the same class as my second grader and that you are not the recipient of one of these for Mother's Day.




The inexperienced clay mom (me) came through with what ever mom wants as a gift from her child, a spoon rest (that's what those are). After encouraging the kids to glaze it as they were inspired by the shape, we got 4 fish, 4 balloons, 1 head, 2 baseball bats, numerous colorful expressions, and of course one lucky mom got a chicken drumstick.


And if that is not something to be jealous about, how about the very creative play that L and her best friend performed for us moms. Started off with two sweet little fairy kittens, a mom and her baby, on the swings in our backyard. Quickly progressed to the baby being obnoxious, the mom yelling, the baby attacking the mom then running away, the mom chasing the baby yelling more. Don't worry it has a happy ending. The baby gives up, gets put in a time-out and then the mom makes her admit her wicked ways and they hug and make up?!? My friend and I, though impressed with the choreography of the 10 min. performance, were left wondering about our mother-daughter relationships.

Happy Mother's Day!
