Valentine

(goofy picture...but sweet story)

I wanted to share this sweet Valentine's Day story. I picked Marcus up from Daycare on Valentine's Day. He had a little bag full of frosted sugar cookies (some large, some small) from his party that day. The conversation in the car went something like this:

Marcus: "Mommy, can I have a cookie?"
Me: "Of course you can"
Marcus: (after a little while of thinking)..."Mommy, are you hungry?"
Me: "I'm Ok"
Marcus: "But I want to share my cookies with you"
Me: "Awe, thanks Marcus" (he gives me two of the small cookies)
Marcus: "Mommy, I gave you the small cookies because I want to save the big ones for my sisters"

Sure enough, his sister's got off the bus and were greeted by a very excited Marcus. He gave them both a big frosted sugar cookie and was beaming. The girls thanked him and took a bite of their cookies. He stood there and said "Well, do you have anything for me?"...I burst into laughter, the girls looked at each other then down at their bag full of treats. They each pulled out one piece of candy and gave it to him...he said "Thanks girls!" They all gave hugs and went on their way. I have the sweetest kids ever!
