I think I have the best kids in the world.  This letter was written to President Obama by my youngest son for last year’s Mother’s Day (2012).  He was only 8.  I still love this letter and thought it will be appropriate to share it this Mother’s Day. 

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do……and Happy Mother’s Day!

When she woke up, she was in a daze, unable to speak

My youngest son is always full of surprises.  He surprised me a few weeks ago by saying that he wrote a blog for me to post on my site.  He astonished me even further by writing an “Autobiography” of his life.  Remember, he is only in grade 4!  Hope you enjoy his life story as much as I did.  His life is pretty awesome!
