A few days before Mother’s Day, my 3rd child came back with a Mother’s Day card. Then the rest started asking me what I wanted for Mother’s Day. I told them that I do not want any gift from them. I just want a peaceful house on that day. No one can quarrel, fight, scream or cry except for the 2 babies in the house. Only laughter is allowed. I got an instantaneous reply from my eldest girl. “Mommy, that is the hardest Mother’s Day gift. It is impossible. Sure cannot one. Just tell us what do you want. We will use our own money to buy gifts for you.” 
A day before Mother’s Day, my children agreed to take up the challenge to behave, not make me angry and be my arms and legs. Wah! I am gonna have 3 Angels on Mother’s Day. The smaller 2 not counted lar, they still small dunno anything yet.
On Mother’s Day, getting them ready for church was super easy. No one complaint about the clothing that I laid out for them to wear for church. They ate their breakfast without complaining too. They helped carry the water tumbler and bag with no whining. I even sent them to sit together with the other children during service with no objection. They made a bracelet for me and told me that they will remember to say “Thank You” for everything that I do for them.
Almost perfect until after church. The moment they stepped into the car on a hot Sunday afternoon, they lost it and started to fight to sit in middle to get the most air-cond.
Someone commented in my FB status; it is the thought that counts. At least they make an effort to behave well on that day.
Oh! How I wish they will behave like an angel every day.
Stumble it!
nice that the 3 older children make their effort.. I think Belle is right.. staying angelic the whole day seems to be impossible.. anyway, they had been that for at least half a day….
*sometimes we tend to worry when our child is too angelic too*.. right? :p
They are really angels…trying their best…
