i hear you...


when you giggle with delight because you love being tickled

when you bang on the screen door because you want to play in the backyard

when you arch and scream in the bathtub

when you snuggle up a little closer because you are still waking up

when you fuss while i help you get dressed

when you tug on my hand and tell me to pick you up

when you knock matty's toys over with mischief in your eyes

when you smile your big smile as we drop you off at school

when you go to your chair to let me know its time to eat

when you wrap your arms around my neck and hug me tight.

You might not say it like other almost-six-year-olds, but i hear you.

Lisa - have you seen this magazine yet?

I'm pretty sure you would love it! In fact, you should submit some of your writing / photography - you would be a perfect fit!

Lisa, beautiful.
You know David so well. You really understand and "get" him.
And he knows and loves and trusts you with everything that he is.
You are such an amazing mother and the two of you have an incredible bond.
I love watching you together. I love how you love him.

This is really touching. I love your writing. Thanks for your kind comment... in the nearer future I hope to start selling prints. It's funny that a couple of you liked that vw drawing... I almost didn't post it because I didn't think it was very good! You just never know what someone else will appreciate, do you? Have a great week! (BTW, I LOVE the rings you made me... I wear them every day!)

I love this post! David is so sweet and you are the best mom he could ever have. Happy happy happy for your special ears that can hear David's love for you! I'm a digital scrapbooker and would LOVE to create an album page (any size) for you with this photo and your sentiments; my treat! You could also frame it instead of putting it into a scrapbook. Just let me know if you'd like that. Deborah@webajeb.com

On another note, I got my necklace "beauty from ashes". LOVE LOVE LOVE it!! Thanks.
