Forget what you've been told about 4 year old boys.

The Montessori teacher stopped me on Monday to tell me about a conversation she had with the red head.

He told her " God gave me to my Mum as a special gift. I'm so glad cos she was just the Mum I wanted"

I of course nearly cried at that. Beautiful child.

After the school fair on the weekend he came home with his sister and presented me with this:


"Mum that's a love heart for you because we're in love"

This is sooooo sweet. I have been telling my boys that line nearly word for word for as long as they can remember.
"God gave you to me as a special gift."
