things that make your heart smile

Monday night I came home from work and noticed that there were little paper hearts on the floor. Didn't think anything of it, just that M had made some and must have been decorating. Tuesday morning I wake up and the first thing I hear from M is that I have a surprise.

M: Mama, you have a heart trail. Here's your heart pocket. (Shows me a heart-shaped paper pocket I didn't see by the door)

Me: Oh sweetie, thank you! (I start to pick up the hearts as both M & A show me where they are.)

M: I made you a charm bracelet mama.

The hearts were in a trail from the front door to her cubbies in her bedroom. On top of the cubbies was one of her charm bracelets completely filled with charms. I almost cried.

I would never have imagined after how tough her first few years were that she would be such a wonderful and loving little girl. She really makes my heart smile when the rest of the world is stressing me out.

Isn't it great when the kids start to grow up. Tom told me he needed pocket money to buy me a valentine card because he loves me! Only hope this continues to the teen years!
