Children from around Wellington are chiming in this Mother’s Day to tell what’s special about their mothers. Most everyone thinks their mom is special is some way. Whether it’s the way they cook or how they react to a situation, every mom has a certain something. Eisenhower first grader, Jack Nuss says he and his brother love their mom because she lets them go to the sand dunes. “She let us go to the sand dunes a lot this month. We can ride four wheelers and even banshees,” he said. He says his mother, Brandy Nuss, works in Wichita — although he’s not quite sure what she does. “I know it’s a big office and it’s really, really quiet. Sometimes I get to go there,” said Nuss. He says his mom works hard to provide for him and his brother and that she deserves something nice for Mother’s Day. “If I had a thousand dollars, I would get her a building we could all run around in and get some exercise,” said the first grader. Nuss’ classmate, Julian Burden, the youngest of Tammy Burden’s three boys, said he is proud of the fact that his mother works to help other children in the community. She works at Futures, he said. “She works for three year-olds,” he said, smiling. “If they get sad, she lets them have a nap.” Burden said his mother is also fun-loving. He says his favorite times are when he plays solitare with his mother, and their frequent trips to the park. He also retold one of his favorite stories. “One time we were in the van and she pretended it was a Mustang. She really wants a Mustang, bad. She was like, ‘Whoo hoo, I’m going 100 mph!’ but she was still going slow,” said Burden. Not only would Burden give his mother that light blue Mustang she’s always wanted, but also a puppy, Corvette and monster truck. “She would really like that,” he said. Kyle Willis, a third grader at Washington Elementary School, said her mother, Christina Reyes, thought she and her twin sister were going to be boys. But instead of boys, her mother got girls and kept the names Kyle and Drew. “It’s funny,” Willis laughed. “She really messed up.” “I love her a lot,” she said. Madison Lewellen, also in Washington third grader, says her Wellington Middle School math teacher mother, Kimberly Lewellen, is top notch. Along with helping her with her math homework, Lewellen says she loves her mother because “she’s so pretty.” “She’s got blond, short hair, blue eyes, a pretty smile and she has smooth hands,” said Lewellen. Though she has no money for a Mother’s Day present, she said she would give her mother a big hug on her special day. Eisenhower first grader Trayson Probst doesn’t care that he doesn’t have any money for a gift. He knows exactly what to get his mother. “A convertible. It would be pink, like a Barbie car,” he said. Jeremiah Sowersby, third grader at Washington Elementary School loves his mother because she’s a cashier at Wal-Mart and because she cleans his room. So what are his big Mother’s Day plans? “I’m going to get her a huge teddy bear,” he said stretching his arms far apart. “And it’s going to have a huge box of chocolates.” His favorite memory of his mom involves a rush of adrenaline. “When I was younger she took me on a rollercoaster and it was fun,” said Sowersby. He says he would do anything for his mother, but given the chance, he would give her a high class treat. “I’d get her a limo,” he said.
