im in the kitchen cleaning up ...avery walks up to me with a "bouquet" of dandelion flowers with this darling look on his face.
"here mommy...something special for you!"
surprised by this random act of sweetness..i holler "oh my goodness! thank you so much baby!!!! " i hug him and wait for him to hand the flowers to me, but i can see something else is in his hands..(junipers lip gloss) so he is having a hard time hiding the lip gloss and handing over the flowers at the same time.
As his plan starts to foil, i see his little eyes thinking as fast as they can.
I take the flowers
"whats this in your hand?" i say
eyes looking up at the ceiling...he replies, "um...maybe its not make-up mommy"
he smiles huge, he says i love you, and walks away.
what!!?? that was way too thought out!!! dude, i am SO in trouble with this one.(my mother would insert the word 'karma' somewhere right about here) ...well...at least he is stopping to think about what he does before he does something. now, just need to work on thinking about doing the right thing, not making up some elaborate sneaky plan! but, like i said..im stoked he's even stopping to think at all before diving into other peoples stuff.
no, i didnt let him get away with squeezing every last inch of junipers new lip gloss onto the carpet, but those dimples almost persuaded me into doing so.

I love it! He is so cute! You should keep record of all the stuff he does and write a childrens book!
