Planting seeds

So my ten year old is having his friend A spend the night while his brother stays the night at a friends house. All night I keep asking them if they need anything. So now I am laying in bed a couple hours later and M comes in and says , "Mom, do you need anything?"

Planting seeds! So proud!

Freckles

So my 7 yr old and I were laying in bed and he asks me how do you get rid of freckles. ( sad silent sigh to myself only) I tell him the story of how I didn't like my freckles when I was little like him but how he is so handsome why does it bother him. He says but mom you don't have them on your nose like me. It amazes me that I am covered in freckles but he notices they are not on my nose. So I tell him that since he was born I have always kissed every freckle he gets that is new so how could they not be handsome. Of course he's heard this story many times so he just smiles but I tell him all the girls look at him like he's handsome when I'm in his classroom. And he does something that surprises me. He says who? And he looks embarrassed and happy. I tell him I still don't know all the girls names but there are alot of them . He again looks happy and surprised and turns red and gets embarassed and rolls over. The difference between the past and present is he looks happy about this and actually shocked girls are looking at him. I just can't even explain how sweet his face was. I pray his freckles don't bother him again. I remember so much how I hated mine so I've always made a point since he was little to kiss them and yl him how special and handsome they are. I adore his freckles.
