Why He Loves Me

by 26 Comments

As I was putting The Boy to bed tonight we read one of our favourite books: "I Love My Mum", it's a gorgeous book and one that I've mentioned before when I showed him 'reading' it.

In the book the baby animals explain (in prose) why they love their mummies; she keeps me warm, she keeps me safe, she lets me play in the mud, etc. At the end of the book, we had a cuddle and a kiss, and then I took a risk. I asked him why he loves me.

"Because you help me make things".

That makes me incredibly happy.

The Best Card I've Ever Had!

Earlier in the week I texted Mr. TheBoyandMe and asked if The Boy was buying or making me a card. The reply was most indignant as he was buying the equipment to make it at the time. Yesterday morning, The Boy and daddy sat down to make the card and this morning I was presented with this little beauty. Mr. TBaM stuck the pipe cleaners on only, the rest is all from The Boy.

And inside, he'd written his name perfectly spelt.

But you'll have to take my word for that…
