Everybody loves children, whether they’re our own or others. So being Valentine’s Day and all, I thought we should celebrate the cutest, most lovable beings on planet earth – our CHILDREN…
and, to show my lovin’ to you, you get a chance to win a $30 Amazon gift card!
SO – What precious moments do you have with your child?
Share a funny moment, something done for you unexpectedly, an accomplishment your child worked hard for… anything that made you say “I JUST LOVE YOU SO!” Now if you don’t have kids, then the special children in your life are also worth celebrating about – your niece/nephew/grandkids, your friend’s, a neighbor…
To start, here’s mine. Since my daughter has multiple allergies, she can’t eat just any cake. I’m no expert baker, but I try because I have to. One day, I was baking a cake for a special occasion, and left it on the dining table to cool before spreading icing on it. A few hours later, here is what greeted me –
(images of daughter eating cake removed) How can I NOT love her for loving my baking?
I can’t wait to hear your loving moments with your child!

My son with a group of kids and saw a new girl who had a strawberry shortcake shirt on. He asked her if it was a scratch and sniff shirt.
When my husband was working on the kitchen drain, he turned off the water under the sink. Well my 3 year old pushed over a chair and tried to turn on the faucet. No water came out of the tap and my son said: “Daddy drank all the water!”
My 3 yr old daughter loves her daddy like crazy. the other day she asked him will you be my marriage?
that was so sweet.
Kristie, count to a hundred! that’s something, you may just have gifted child.
Shes so cute.
A recent one of many loving moments was listening to my 5 year old, try to teach my almost 2 year old how to count by 100’s. Before long, my little daugther was saying, 100, 200, 300, 400 and that was about as far as she could get, but it was neat listening to him teaching her.
I forgot to add that he is just 1 year old. We got back from leaving him with the in-laws for a “date” today and he just wanted me to hold him, which was unusual since usually he wants his mom more.
When I get home from work and my son sees me come in he runs over to the baby gate and pretty much runs up and grabs my legs. He gets almost as excited as the dog. It is nice to know I’m missed while at work.
The other night my 11 week old woke up crying at around 2 in the morning and I went in to check on him. He looked up at me and when he recognized my face he stopped crying and started to smile. It just about melted my heart!
my 3 year old daughter is pottytraining herself since i had been trying and got bad sick…this last bad on the couch sickness…well she will poop but not pee in there…she told me she did it so her poor ole sick momma could rest … she also tried to chane her sister & brother lol

I visited my son’s daycare today to make blueberry muffins with his preschool class. They had just come in from their outside time and my son had just finished washing his hands. He turned around, saw me walking in, and RAN toward me with a huge grin on his face. I’m sure I don’t even need to say that my heart just melted.
