Week #14 Giving Out Smiles..and Chocolate!

It's Valentine's Day and also one of Paige's favorite days of the year. Why? Because it usually means she might just get a special chocolate heart from her daddy. That is if history repeats itself! And it did. Though something was different this year...Paige was excited about something else from the moment she got out of bed. As she pulled off the covers she whispered to me "be quiet mommy and remember to tip toe". I almost forgot she wanted to surprise her dad with pancakes in bed. Lucky him! Or maybe not since pancakes are definitely not my specialty.
After they had both eaten breakfast she decided it was time to open the card and heart shape box of chocolates sitting on the counter with her name on it. She was thankful gave us both a big squeeze...which was the best gift she could give us today.
I mentioned that Paige loves chocolate...so when I asked her what her face did when she had chocolate she said "smile" it was not surprising.
For Week #14 Paige had wanted give out smiles and she realized she could do this by giving out chocolate! We headed out and my little chocolate fairy dropped off little sweet gifts to some little and big people she cares about. We pulled up to each home and she walked up to the front door and gave it a knock. She made it clear to me that she wanted to do this herself! A few people weren't home so she left it on their front door and others that were it was great to see them and say hi! She was pretty pumped about giving today. As we drove home she said "it feels good to give Mommy". Think it's sinking in...so good.

Have a Phat Valentine's Day!
