The Best Early Birthday Present

A few weeks ago Rascal came up to me in a pouty kind of way and told me this....

Rascal: Mom, I had this really great birthday present for you and now I can't give it to you.

Me: Well my birthday is still a long ways away. I appreciate you thinking of me though

Rascal: The other day S brought cupcakes to school and I saved the Happy Birthday pick off the top. I washed it really really good and I was going to hide it up in my room until your birthday and then give it to you but it broke.

Me: That's OK Rascal, just the thought of you thinking of me means more than the world to me.

And then he gives me the sweetest smile and walks away. What he doesn't know is that I melted inside. Sure it was just a happy birthday cupcake topper, but the thought of him thinking up this for ME so far in advance (my birthday is at the end of March), meant more than ANY gift I could ever possibly receive!

SO thankful for my 3 precious precious children who love me and their daddy with their whole entire heart!
