Olivia woke up extra early, at 6 am, today and so we got up as Matt helped to get her some breakfast and headed to work. I made myself a half caf latte today instead of my usual decaf, very aware that my 28 hr day just turned into a 29 hour day. We get into breakfast and I spot some cookie cutters that I purchased randomly years ago. Like 10 years ago. I remember when I bought them that hoped I would make cookies with them with some kids from the hall since I never made cookies myself with them. As the childless work and life filled busy years passed, , I remember thinking as I would occasionally see these heart and star shaped cookie cutters in my utensil drawer, that "if" I ever had kids I would be the mom that made sandwiches into fun shapes. If not for their enjoyment but mine too.
It is a real surprise to not only have kept those unopened cookie cutters all these years, but also a surprise to find myself with 2 babies! Well here I am and today was the day I used those cookie cutters. I made myself my daily dose of Ezekiel cinnamon raisin english muffins and spotted those cookie cutters, opened the package and stamped those little stars from my muffins. I was so proud to deliver Olivia her glorious little star toasts. Though she picked all the raisins out and left the stars out cold, that didn't matter. Today was the day.
I became "that" mom.
