It doesn't have to be anything elaborate. Friday, for example, Sun Kissed #3 wanted a snack after school. He not only wanted a snack, but he wanted it packed in a basket. The older two boys were busy playing the Wii so my mind got clicking. I took out some of my grandmother-in-law's pillowcases to line the basket and I packed us a picnic lunch to enjoy in the backyard.
We both picked out a pillowcase. SKB #3 picked the one with the birdies and I picked the one with the flowers.
It was a beautiful, breezy afternoon while we sat and enjoyed sweet tea and peanut butter & jelly sandwiches; counted goldfishes; and did a little exploring by the lake.
I know that many years from now he won't remember our little afternoon. But I do know that he will look back at his childhood and feel cared for and loved. What else can a mom ask for, right?

6 Sunny Notes:
That was such a special treat for him. I bet he does remember it for a long time. He is such a cutie pie.
I love the old pillowcases!
Yanet you are such a great mom! I need to do stuff like that more often with my boys...especially the baby:)
Beautiful post. Our kids need those little times from us.
I disagree. These are the moments he will remember the most. He'll remember how special you've always made him feel and he will do the same for his children one day.
I love the attention to detail too. You're amazing!
I think he'll remember it. If not this time, then the next time. You are a wonderful mother, Yanet. Truly.
It looks like a wonderful day...
