I put "Loves" on it

The other night my mom came by and kidnapped Joseph for a "secret project" I of course asked what they were going to be doing and I was told it was none of my business.

Well I am very glad that my mom stuck to her guns and didn't tell me. The next morning when Joseph got up he just couldn't wait until Valentines day so he gave me my present early. He handed me this little bag and inside I found a candle that he had decorated with hearts, glitter and ribbon. As soon as I had it out of the bag Joseph looked at me and said I put loves on it because they make you happy mommy (Joseph calls hearts loves) and then he looked straight at me and asked are you happy mommy? Of course I was and still am, I was so happy in fact that I started to cry.

When Joseph told me that he gave me loves because they make me happy it reminded of me of when Stephen was younger and he told Aimee that he gives girls flowers because they like them.

Oh, you do have a special little boy! Loves! How cute! What a sweet thing for Joseph and your Mom to do.

What a great little fellow to say such a thing. I'm glad for your sake that you keep your blog so frequently. It'll be like a well-written and illustrated journal some day. When Joseph is 20 years older than he is now, he'll love reading about himself. So will his fiancee'.

I love how he calls the hearts "loves"--how cute! I'm impressed he could keep it a surprise, too.
