Best valentine ever

This year David is my valentine. He is sweet, charming, affectionate, and creative. Plus, those big blue eyes just melt a gal's heart.

(Sorry, Mary, I love and adore you...but you're just too........TWO.)

My valentine made me this valentine.

It's supposed to be a heart. But he worked very hard and deliberately to make sure it WASN'T a heart. (How did he know I would like it better that way?) As you can see, he put lots of jewels on it, but he thoughtfully left an open area at the top. He then asked his teacher to write something there. She agreed to help, and David dictated the following:

Dear Mom,

You are the bestest bestest bestest Mom ever. I love you so so so so so so much. You are the bestest!

Love, David

Since it wouldn't quite fit, his teacher suggested I *heart* U Mom. That works too.

I love David. I am deeply, profoundly grateful Heavenly Father sent him to our family. I am grateful for the new kind of relationship we are forming, now that he's getting older. No four-year-old should have to be a support to his mom....but that is how things play out sometimes these days. How blessed I am to have David as my valentine.
