Arthur's appreciation

I picked up Arthur from his school. He was sitting in the back seat and suddenly he started to thank me. He said, mom, you cook for me, bake good stuff for me, oh, you took the cake to my school on my 5th birthday, and everyone waiting in line for the cake. It was so good of you, thank you, Mom!

I am really touched by his word. Yes, on his fifth birthday, I baked a cake which was cap cakes under it. I put Alphabet letter's on the cake. Every kids just got one cake. Athur got the cup cake with letter A on it. He soon dropped the cake and came back to ask another one. Too bad I didn't have any extra. Then he started to cry. Two girls gave up their cake for Arthur but he only want the one with letter A on it. He cried very hard. It wasn't very happy memory for me. I am glad that he kept the good memory of that cake. I am also glad that he appreciate my work and remembers it. I don't want to raise a spoiled kid and took everything for granted.

Oh, one of those times in motherhood! Arthur is such a sweet boy in the long run. I think the excitement of the day (the birthday cake) overwhelmed him when he dropped the "A" cake, so many tears. But children are resilient, especially when they have such strong, loving parents as you and Weimin.
