Woke up to breakfast in bed of star and heart chocolate chip pancakes and milk in my Jane Austen mug. Gage in his swing. Austen eating pancakes at the desk next to my bed.
A Mother’s Day card scrapbook with drawings by Austen (and Dada). “What you do best …” was a picture of a Tetris screen; Dada always has to get in his digs.
Getting all dressed up to go out. Austen wears her blue silk from Chasing Fireflies. (Gets compliments all day long.)
Mommy drives to Queens (a first for me) to dropped Gage off for a day with Grandma Mindy.
Carmine’s in Times Square for Spudini, Rigatoni with Broccoli, Shrimp Cocktail and Chocolate Canolis. Mommy’s favorite restaurant, period.
The Little Mermaid on Broadways. Sebastion the Crab was the best (and had the best songs to sing)! Got Austen a pearl-colored shell purse (which she later filled with nail polish, sunglasses and hair clips).
Back to Queens for time with Gage, Grandma, Grandpa and Chacha. Keema Mattar with Poori. Drawings with oil pastel arts supplies. AUSTEN PAINTS MOMMY’S TOENAILS!!!!
Drive home in heavy traffic but Mommy and Daddy have time to chat.
A marvelous day.
