This morning, from 7:30 to 9, Baguette’s school had an early Mother’s Day muffin breakfast for the children and their mothers. I wasn’t there, because I have to be at work at 8, with an hour-long commute beforehand.
The result is I missed out on spending a little more time with her, but it’s not all bad news. Her best friend (who may require a nickname on this blog at some point–but for now we’ll call her Bestie) was willing to share her own mother, so the three of them ate muffins together.
So I still get to know that Baguette dunks her muffins in apple juice.

Beautiful post. If only we can spend all our time with our kids. They grow so fast and we don’t want to miss every precious moments and milestones. We take every chance we get. Thanks to friends and family for being there for us.
I know I won’t be able to spend all my time with her–that hasn’t been possible since my maternity leave ended. But I’m feeling that other parts of my life have become less flexible lately, and things like this really highlight it.
That was always the biggest drawback when I needed to go to work. It’s hard to miss the muffins. I’m glad she got a lap to share!
Same here! Baguette and Bestie are really tight, and Mr. Sandwich and I are very fond of her parents as well. If the situation had been reversed, we’d have made sure Bestie was part of the festivities as well.
