I Love My Family
I love that my kids love their family. My son frequently says “Mom I love you with a heart.” A few weeks ago he kept himself busy with a cardboard box for a long while. He was making his perfect little home - complete with blanket and pillow. I heard the sound of tape being pulled and rounded the corner to see this:
He was very skillfully applying tape to a family photo of some of his cousins to his wall. All I could do was grab the camera.
My daughter is also a big family person and you can ask any of her family to confirm that by the number of phone calls they get on a frequent basis from her! She had a fun surprise this weekend when her birthmom came to visit. It was so much fun to have her stay with us for a couple nights and have one entire day to be with her. We went to lunch and caught the movie “Underdog” as I’ve been putting that one off far too long for my son’s liking. Daddy was the lucky one who made the sly recommendation that we take that in before he got home. I think I’ll return the favor by sending him on a daddy daughter date night to see the “Bratz” movie. That’s only fair isn’t it?

Your kids know what is important, don’t they? Very cool. And I think the Bratz movie is a totally legitimate retribution;))) Thanks for joining in with PTT again!
Yes they do! Always a pleasure to join in the fun!

It’s obvious that you are instilling a love for family in your children Holly! I think it is so important for kids to feel close to their extended family.
And yes I think the Bratz movie would be perfect for a father/daughter “date.”
The “I’s” have it.

Aww, now that is precious, and time well spent
They have a knack for time well spent don’t they?

That’s a cute photo and it’s really nice your kids love their family. It’s also great your son can play on his own.
I can’t tell you how grateful I am that one of my kids can!

Well all I can say is that it’s time his Grandma comes to get hugs, and get her picture in his house!!
You’re right about that!
