Valentine's Day
Instead of giving me a formal Valentine's Day card, my son made a list of things that he loves.
The neighbor's pet rat, a college in Idaho to which we have no connection, and Peyton Manning all ranked above me.
My self-confidence, however, was restored by the realization that I am loved more than hot dogs.
My kids do this, too, but justify it in an a' la David Letterman kind of way, claiming they save the best for last. ...or to build suspense... or something. Maybe you tied for first place with hot dogs? I keep trying to explain reverse order (10, 9, 8...) to my kids, but they just don't get it. Or maybe they're just trying to be nice when I find I'm #17 on a list of 18 items. lol
In my best moments with my son, he proclaimed to love me more than gum. He has since retracted his comment but that moment will live on in my brain forever. Kids-- can't live with 'um and can't live without 'um.
At least you made his list - that's saying something, right? If my child could write, I'm sure Reggie Bush and Drew Brees would rank far above me. And Ritz Crackers.
one year my son made me a valetines card that said 'i love you. i love your hair'. i framed it and put it up every year! this would be an awesome decoration!
Aha. Jones' little second-grade sweetheart got her own box of chocolates from him. I couldn't even get him to give me ONE out of his box from Grandma...
LOL! I live in WI, so Boise State t-shirts are pretty few and far between, I almost died laughing the other day when I saw a guy in one, thinking of you and your crew. ; )
Hey the kid's got taste!! Tell him I've got Peyton on my list too, #7right after the hubby, kids, and naps. But I figure everything after 5 is only loved in theory. Who actually knows what a nap is??
Both contained the Cartier Watches logo. Both of them became the best early models of the Replica Cartier Watches . Initially, the very Chanel Watches Submariner came with the reference number 6200 in 1954. Replica Chanel Watches was the first to make use of the Mercedes hand set, which later became the basic feature for subsequent Submariners.
How cute!
ReplyDeletevery cute!

ReplyDeleteDon't you love that your blog saves this moment for you forever (and for your son, too?)?
At least you made the list. There are days I am not sure I would with the teens.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely precious!
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow! You made the top ten?? You must be one of the best moms ever.
ReplyDeleteAt least you ranked higher than hot dogs!
ReplyDeleteThat is too cute!!
ReplyDeleteYou can always give him a "guilt trip" with that when he's older (keep the card as evidence!)

ReplyDeleteYou will always remember this though.
