my first Mother's Day

It seems to have come round quickly, but today was my first mother's day as a mummy and i really enjoyed it. 'Poppy' brought me breakfast in bed this morning, which was a real treat because i don't often get that, and we had a lovely lazy start to the day snuggled in bed together, all 3 of us, with me and Sir talking and Poppy playing happily with some of her toys. Then i got given my presents from Poppy which were a box of lovely chocolates, some flowers picked from the garden (apparently Poppy chose the ones herself which is sweet), and a special newspaper with an article on the front cover all about me winning the 'best mum of the year award'. It was a very sweet gesture and i was so touched - i've put it in my special treasure box which i created when Poppy was born for all the things i want to keep as she grows up.

Then we took a walk through the woods and saw all the violets coming up and went to visit the horses and fed them some apples and carrots. And then we had a picnic lunch sitting by the river, enjoying the warm spring weather and just relaxing in each other's company. This afternoon we spent pottering around in our garden, getting it ready for all the flowers to come up and i planted lots of vegetables in my area of the vegetable patch so i'm hoping they'll grow nice and big for summer.

Today has been a lovely day and i've been feeling very appreciative of my little family, and so so proud of the beautiful little person i helped to create and bring into this world. i hope i can continue to be the bestest mummy that i can be for her as she grows, so that she develops into the bright, inquisitive, happy little girl that it already seems she is destined to be. i love my Poppy so much :)
