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.
Awwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!! I dont think there are any other words 🙂
I know, lush isn't it?
Sweet! That's not something I think I'll ever hear from mine, crafting is not a strong suit…
I'm sure he/she will come out with something just as lovely.
Awwwww that's so lovely x
I know, made me smile and melt a little inside!
That's just lovely 🙂
I didn't expect any answer so that one really made me smile.
And that's what makes it all worthwhile 🙂
It most definitely does!
That's very sweet. I love the things that Luke comes out with. He told me last week 'I want to be a kid forever'. When I asked why, he replied 'Because you an Daddy give me a nice life'. I melted.
That's so telling of how happy and secure he is. Bless his heart.
This was a Perfect little post and just shows that you do so many fun things with him and he knows this and loves you for it 🙂 makes me smile and feel gooey inside for you x
Thank you, made me feel all squishy and warm too.
Awh, now this is what blogging is all about IMO. Documenting the thing, that you might not remember. Such a sweet story 🙂
Exactly!
I wonder if I will be brave enough to ask the same question. Such a lovely honest answer from The Boy x
I did wonder if I was taking my life in my hands, but I also knew that a 2 year old would be honest. Depending upon his answer I might have needed to change my parenting skills!
Sooo cute xx
Wasn't it? Thank God he said a good reason though!
Awwww heart just melted! 🙂 x
Mine did too 🙂
That is adorable! x
I thought so too, little treasure that he is!
Aww that's lovely. I usually get something like you make me breakfast.
In our house that would be a lie, daddy does breakfast.
