My baby boy is the sweetest thing in the world. Love is so blind, I can find myself SOOO irritated with him at times and then he does something so sweet and innocent it almost makes me cry.
Today he brought in this pretty little weed of a flower and handed it to me. It is not uncommon for him to bring me dainty little flowers occasionally and I give him a little hug and we go on our way.
Today, the flower today was different. Apparently Javan had found $10.00 while playing outside with all the kids and he was so excited. Sadly, one of the older manipulative boys pulled a mean trick on little Javan and said he would "trade" him something for his ten dollar bill. The boy ask what Javan wanted-
Javs story:
"I told him I wanted a flower thiiiiiiiis tall (as he held up his little hands) to give to you"
Who would really pay $10.00 to buy me a single little flower? I know who...my baby boy. I wish it could stay like that forever.

I thought this was a nice addition to this story, sent to my e-mail about the post.
What a sweet story! You'll remember this for a lifetime. I still have the artificial flowers Rob (now 36) bought for me for Christmas at the school holiday store when he was about 7. A decorator once told me "These have to go" and I said, "Not on your life!" Janie
