I have been doing it for a year, so Charlotte is used to seeing me in there and it's not that exciting for her anymore. But this year the day care kids (Toby's class) are eating their lunch in the gym too.
The first time I worked this year his teacher spotted me and walked over to Toby, covered his eyes and told him to turn around for a surprise.
The look on his face was priceless!! He was sooooo made up to see me there. He kept saying "You didn't tell me Mummy!" He was telling his friends that his Mummy was there to help.
And for days afterwards he would repeat the story of how his teacher had a surprise and it was me.
It was a moment that I hope I never forget.
I miss picking him up from the day care (he goes to preschool in the afternoon and walks out with his sister and a teacher) when he used to see me through the window and run to the door shouting "My Mummy is here!" and then run and jump up into my arms. I'm always around so sometimes I feel they take me for granted. Don't get me wrong - I am so happy that I can always be around for them. But the look of sheer joy to see me when he wasn't expecting to was such a gift.
He puts a smile on so many faces - I can't believe I get to call him my son and see that beautiful smile everyday!
Here he is with our Thanksgiving turkey - he was determined to hold it!! :)
