Lovely
October 29, 2007 – 5:06 pmI’m comfortably perched in an easy chair when I see him, advancing on me with a determined expression, a yellow sheet of puffy stickers clutched in his hand.
Warily, I set my drink down.
He climbs into my lap.
“CJ? What are you doing?” I ask him.
He is quiet… focused… carefully peeling off stickers and affixing them to my cheek.
Then he says, “Mommy, I’m making you lovely.”

Gorgeous! I have twin five year old boys and I too have had stickers/paint/makeup applied in a rather unusual yet beautiful way. You are a good mama.

Oh that is sweet.
At 1st glance, I thought you photo-shopped those yellow stickers on yourself. :) Now why would I think that?

Well you were definitely lovely before them, but I do have to say he does have a way with color.
I’ve missed you my friend. Sorry I haven’t been around as much. Was in a blog funk.

Can he spare some stickers? I’m feeling rather old and haggard today…

Oh, and HOW lovely you both are!! I miss my daughter “stickering me”, as she would call it, but I’m glad Caesar has yet to discover them, lol. :)
