Proud mommy moment

Imagine my surprise this morning when this sweet little face appeared bedside carrying a tray containing a single strawberry (hulled), a small plastic bottle filled with cherry tomatoes, a stick of cheese, a glass of water, and two drawings made especially for me. The occasion you ask? Valentine's Day, of course! Slightly belated, but filled with a genuine passion to please.

I had heard him rustling about through the art drawer while I lay in bed trying to motivate myself to get up , so I knew he was up to something. He even remembered to draw the cotton tail on the happy multi-colored bunny.

As he set the tray on the bed, he walked me through the entire process from cutting off the strawberry stem ("With an adult knife and I didn't even cut myself! See??" ... uhm... yah) to filling the coffee cup with water (because "I can't make coffee, but I can get the water!").

Talk about a proud mommy moment! What a great morning it was! Does it get any better than this??
