Lovely

October 29, 2007 – 5:06 pm

I’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…
