best mother's day gift ever

never having been a mother, i don't have the credentials to determine what the best gift would be. but i'd think some kind of confirmation that you're doing a great job has got to rank way up there.

erin's gift today came from brendan, who was playing outside with owen this afternoon while we were getting some yard work done. he approached her, unsolicited, and proclaimed matter-of-factly, "mom, i'm having a great lifetime so far."

if that's not confirmation of good mothering, i don't know what is.

The "so far" indicates the boy is aiming towards law school or the Jesuits
