Before I brought Lauren and Ben upstairs for their nap this afternoon Joseph leaned close to me and said he wanted to tell me a secret. He then whispered in my ear, "When Lauren takes her nap I'm going to go outside and pick her a flower, okay Mommy?" Okay, I said. Then I went upstairs and laid them down for their naps. First, Lauren in her room and then Ben in his. After Ben fell asleep I sneaked out and walked past Laurens room and saw this piece of paper taped to her door with a very "pretty" dried up weed taped to it too. It's hard to see in the picture but there are two hand drawn hearts and in a little 4 year olds handwriting he wrote Laurens name and on the next line the words "I love." Once again my little JoJo has melted my heart. What a lucky little girl Lauren is to have such an adoring older brother. It really was the sweetest thing.
"Children are not lumps of clay that a mother can mold and shape into whatever she thinks would be best. They are seedlings...already pears, pines or petunias. As gardeners, we can add only sunshine, water, fertilizer, time and love in order to make that growing plant the most beautiful specimen of what it was intended to be." -Linda J. Eyre

so I am not going to stalk your sight anymore. ANdria, that was so so adorable. JoJo is a sweet boy!
That is the cutest thing I have ever seen! I love it when Madelyn tries to mother Jackson or stick up for him when he has done something naughty
