My Sweet Boy

Yes, I know...I complain that he's a monster in all his 2 1/2-year old glory! But Ryan can be the sweetest boy!

I was making this card for a friend whose husband passed away last week. Ryan came in and said "What-choo doin' Mommy?" (That's his newest thing to say...over and over and over!) I told him that I was making a card for Denise because she was sad. He didn't say much, but went behind me and started rummaging around, which is what he usually does when he's anywhere near my craft stuff.

A little while later, Ryan brought out a little box he found that he had filled up with little wooden craft hearts I had stashed somewhere. Then he told me that he wanted to make a card for "Ba-neese" too. It was so sweet.

So I gave him some card stock and we pulled out the glue stick so he could glue some hearts to the card. Then he used my markers (with my supervision of course!) to color it. And here you go...the final masterpiece! I love it, and I'm sure Denise will too!

(By the way...this "cheese" look is what he does now when I ask him to smile for the camera...*sigh*)
