Just outside Declan's bedroom door was a brand new Star Wars Easter basket. At 5am the little man left his room and crept into ours. He woke me up standing in the dark and said "The Easter Bunny didn't come Mommy."
"Oh I'm sure he did hunny."
"No he didn't. Come 'wook'".
I got up and followed him into the dark hallway wear he showed me his Easter basket. He put his hand inside moved it side to side and said "See it's empty."
Of course my heart broke for him but I turned on the lights and a delighted little man saw all the chocolate lining the sides of the hallway and stairs.
Still made me sad to think of the few minutes that he thought he'd been missed.
We had a nice Easter, brunch with the family, lots of chocolate and Declan and I both squeezed in a nap.
Late afternoon and Declan and I were chatting. I asked him how it was that I was "so lucky to have him and Daddy. How did I get lucky enough to have you?"
"Because I picked you."
"You picked me? What? Was there some big place full of babies and you got to pick who you wanted for a Mommy and you picked me?"
"Yup. I picked you Mommy."
