Happy Valentine's Day Mom!


Sometimes (well most of the time) being a Mom is just not a whole lot of fun. There is always messes, dirty diapers, laundry, crying, complaining and whining to deal with. But then your sweet 4 year old says something like this and it reminds you why you chose this career path and it's suddenly all soooo very worth it.

Cole: Happy Valentine's Day Mom!
Me: It's not Valentine's Day you silly goose.
Cole: I know, but I love you so much I just wanted to tell you Happy Valentine's Day!
Me: (trying not to get teary eyed) I love you so much too Cole, Happy Valentine's Day to you.

Photo taken just shortly before the above conversation. And YES, he is always dressed as a pirate, always!
