the adventures of ROO and LU: Her First Valentine

welcome to the tales of our crazy life

I'm Heather. I'm over-caffeinated, under appreciated and constantly amused by these two crazy peeps we call our daughters.

I started this blog in April 2006 because I don't want to forget a single second of this awesome life. Why a blog? Because I'm a slacker. That's why.

Baby books? I'd actually have to find a pen. Have you SEEN my house? (Shhhhhhht...NOT a question). Scrapbooking? Puh-lease. When you can add six more hours in the day MAYBE we'll talk about it. I do like to sleep. Occasionally.

Her First Valentine

Rilee walked out of school today with her buddy Wylie. As Wylie's mom motioned for us not to leave yet I took note of the gigantic smile on Wylie's face. He told Rilee he had something for her and pulled a big, pink stuffed dog out of his backpack and told her, "Happy Valentine's Day, Rilee".

Now, the boy is only six, but he certainly knows what a girl wants. Pink? Check. Dog? Check. Her mother's admiration? Check.

To say my daughter was delighted would be an understatement. I couldn't help but smile when she looked at him and said, "Awwww, thanks, McCoy!"

Wylie's mom said the gift was completely his idea. He told her he wanted to pick out something "extra special" for Rilee.

Me, I think Rilee IS the something extra special. There's a twinkle in her eye and a skip in her step that makes her unlike any other child in the world. While she may have little Wylie's heart now, she'll have mine forever.
