Mother's Day - But when is it 'Children's Day?'


This was the question Ben just asked me as he kissed me goodnight before bed. He's sooo cute! 'That's a good question' I replied, to which Nick added 'It's children's Day everyday!' Ben told me that he and Daddy were going to make me breakfast in bed, but he only told me this at bedtime - a bit late I'd say! He and Jasmine did make the the most gorgeous cards and Ben even wrote it all out himself - I was sooo proud and genuinely loved what they had done (not like when they scribble something and you have to pretend it is the most fantastic thing you have ever seen in your life - though I must admit, most of their stuff now is really good) Jasmine also made me a box of flowers made out of coloured tissue paper and Ben made the most beautiful heart out of salt dough, which he painted in lilac and powder blue and dusted with shimmery dust. It then had a pink ribbon through the top so I can hang it up - it now has pride of place on my wardrobe door handle (update: Ben has taken it back and it is now on his and Jas' bedroom door handle!). Times like this make me really sentimental and feel grateful to have such unconditional love and acceptance - the kind that only children can give.
