Spent some time this morning teaching the littlest love to make his own hand-sewn book. I think he was pleased with the result.

In time, the mountain

Every 2 weeks, I set up a stool in the kitchen to give my son a haircut. Today before I really got started, he had his eyes closed and was smiling softly to himself. As I combed out his curls, I ask why he is smiling. He said it's because he just likes it when I do his hair. 😍

"Can you put a design in my hair, mommy?"

"Sure, what do you want?"

"I want a heart for love."

"Of course, kiddo."
