I was skyping with Janice from 5 Minutes for Mom last night, along with both of our youngest kids – her Olivia and my AJ. Janice asked AJ if he loved his mama. “Yes,” he declared.
Janice then asked, “Is she even better than ice cream?”
“Yes, I love my mama more than ice cream!”
And doesn’t it show?
Early that same day, he lovingly made me a weed-flower crown while we were at the park and then asked for my camera so that he could take a picture of his creation.
I feel loved.
Isn’t that a great feeling?

It is CRAZY how fast this kid is growing up! And my oldest daughter is planning how she can get into college. She starts applying next year. Life has really gotten away from me!
And SEE? Your coming to read this post, despite a slow page load time, is exactly what I was talking about. THIS is the kind of page view I love. ;)

I had to come and see the picture better when you explained it in your email : )
SO cute.
I love how wonderful your baby is. I can’t really believe how big he is getting : (
It makes me sad. Why do our babies grow up Lolli? I don’t like it one bit!

Those handmade crown your son made for you… that’s so precious. I’m sure it was a feeling unlike any other!
rajean says
Really pretty shot he got of mama. He’s got your mad photography skills. Love the weed crown too. Just today, my four year old son presented me with a tiny yellow flower and a kiss. At first I thought it was a weed, but then I noticed it’s from our garden. Nothin’ better, I tell you!
Jules from a Little Bite of Life says
I love your weed crown–it looks very regal to me! Happy WW!

I would do ANYTHING for a crown like that — it’s priceless!

Lolli says
I was impressed with the photo. He cropped it and got it to focus and everything. :)
Lolli says
Wow. Butter and ice cream. We are two LOVED mamas!
Lolli says
Yes! And if you knew how much this kid loves sweets, then you’d realize just how much LOVE that is! lol
Lolli says
Yes! And he was so tender putting the flowers in my hair. It was sweet. :)
Lolli says
OK – here’s my secret. Since 2001 I have worn some kind of all-day lipstick (like Revlon ColorStay). I hate the way I look without lip color. So the fact that I’m wearing lipstick at the park simply means that I did my make up in the morning. It’s not that impressive. lol
I do find it amusing that you noticed, though. :)
Tabitha Blue says
Oh that is the best!!! You are loved mama :) Don’t kids just give us the best gifts!!
Tammi @ My Organized Chaos says
