Roman has always been very giving, but nothing makes my heart smile like when he picks me a flower. Its usually from the yard, but he does it anywhere he sees flowers. "I picked you a fwower mommy". Just the other day I pretended to be sad when he said something mean and he quietly crept away, got his shoes and socks on and I caught him trying to unlock the front door so he could pick me some "fwowers to make you fweel better". Scary and adorable right? haha After a stern conversation about how we don't go outside without mommy, I opened the door and let him run into the drizzling afternoon and he picked me a flower. He ran back to the porch with huge smile on his face. "This is for you mommy". It occurred to me that day that he has been doing this for a year now and I haven't saved any of the flowers. So here is my morning project today.
I got this clear acrylic box from Michaels for about $3
I was lucky enough to snap a picture of him doing this back in October
Cut the picture to fit the lid
I stuck in the picture with sticky tabs for scrap booking and put in the flowers I've been saving for the past 2 weeks.
Does your kid collect anything? This is a great way to keep your little collectables and display them!
thanks for the great idea to use for my grandkids!!
