The Sweetest Thing...
Joel came in on Bonnie's birthday and solomnly walked up to me, this bouquet of Iris's in his little hands, and he held them out to me like an offering to a queen, like they were the most important things in the world. The expression on his face was priceless, and the flowers were beautiful.
The blooms he held in front of him were bigger than his little face and as reached for them I inhaled long and with awe, and I whispered, Oh my GOODNESS how beautiful, oh Joel are these for me?!!
His little face lit up like there was 1000 candles behind his eyes, just luminating him, his little mouth turned up in the biggest smile I ever saw and he nodded, said "Yep!"
"Oh Thank YOU! They're the prettiest flowers I ever saw!"
He started babbling something about them, I couldn't understand, but then we went to put them in water, and he strutted around pointing, demanding that I put them on the counter where he specified, he stood back and stared then pointed again, for me to brag some more.. That kid's something else. :)
Bon said he picked them out of the flower bed at the Courthouse. *laughs* She did say that a police officer was standing there when Joel pointed and said he wanted to pick one, and that he told Joel to go ahead and pick them if he wanted them, so it wasn't as if he stole them...
That was precious. Thank you Joleybean, I loved them, and I love you too!
