Thursday Joshua was very excited for me to open the folder he brings home from school every day. Inside was a thick piece of paper, decorated and stapled together. “Merry Christmas Mom and Dad” he had written on the outside. I opened it up to find an ornament he had made for our tree with his school picture in it.
*Sniff*
I got a little misty.
My mom has an ornament of me like this, only it’s my first grade picture, and I knew how much she cherished it.
And now, I know why.
My baby is now a big kindergarten guy, and he made that for our tree, for his mom and dad, and he was so proud of it, and it’s just…it’s a treasure.
And I, ladies and germs, am a hopelessly sentimental old lady.
But look what I have to be sentimental over! HE MADE ME AN ORNAMENT WITH HIS PICTURE ON IT!!! How could I not melt?
I always love getting those!!!
So adorable! I used to make them at school for my mom (haha, like a decade ago)
can’t wait to get them for myself when I am a mom
Ours are made from puzzle pieces painted green to make a wreath with their pictures in them.
Every year, every year, they are on the tree.
I miss the kids being little.
UP
That is too cute!!!
My mom still has one I made in first grade. It is quite cherished.
I still have, and place on our tree, all the ornaments that my brother and I made from 25 years ago. I now do the same kinds with my 3 year old! I love, love them!
That is one of the many great moments in Motherhood!! So sweet!
