Hey mom, can I have the scissors? I'm making you something with markers and...I need you to write me some instructions, too.
"Sure baby -- what instructions should I write?"
Just write I LOVE YOU. Okay? And then go away so I can surprise you.

Here, mom! Look, BOTH sides are red, and it's for you because I love you SOOOO much. Now, you need to hang it on your wall, RIGHT by your bed so when you wake up every morning, you'll know how much I love you first thing, okay? Go get a nail and I'll show you where it should go.
There's really nothing bigger or more simple than this, is there?

ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet. I have many scraps of paper on which my kids have written "I love you" that I just can't bring myself to throw away! Now my oldest is 13 and doesn't say it much to me anymore, so artwork like this is priceless!
