Kids

Today Blake came home from school and said, “I have an early Mother’s Day present for you.”  He gives me a poem that says

It’s almost Mother’s Day.

I want to show my mom I love her in a special way.

I’ll paint a box.

I’ll put in a teddy bear.

It shows how we love to bear hug.

I’ll put in a piece of gum.

It shows how we always stick together.

I’ll put in some nuts.

They show how silly we like to be.

I’ll put in a bandage.

It shows how she always comes to my rescue.

I’ll put in a chocolate kiss.

It shows how good it feels to be loved.

And Mom, don’t forget……

I’ll love you forever!

SO then he hands me a little painted box with a teddy bear in it, a piece of gum, a peanut, a band-aid, and a chocolate kiss.  I told him it was very sweet and he said, “can I have the piece the gum?”  so I give it to him.  Then he says, “can I have the peanut too?  I really like peanuts.”

I gave him the peanut, and then said, “do you want the Hershey’s Kiss too?”  He nodded and said, “but you can have the band-aid.”

Thanks.
