Why He's My Valentine

This afternoon, I put Landon down for a nap and set up a "quiet time" for Tanner in his room. Since I had a few minutes to myself, I thought I'd start packing for our Disney trip (just a few more days!!!). I don't know about you, but my summer wardrobe is seriously lacking! I usually find myself either in workout gear or a bathing suit/cover up for most of the summer. Mix in a few little summer dresses for some nights out and I'm set!

Unfortunately, most of this isn't really appropriate for our trip. I know ... Disney has got to be the #1 destination for people-watching and there is no such thing as "fitting in." I'm just trying to be comfortable in casual shorts and a top. Most of what I have in that category is either very out of style and/or worn out. So, my simple packing session was quickly becoming a bit depressing.

Just when I was about to give up, I heard Tanner calling me from his room. He needed to use the restroom. I opened the door to let him out and he looked at me and said, "Wow, Mom! That's pretty! You look so cool!" Oh, how a little bit of praise from your little one can warm your heart and make you feel like a million bucks!

And that's why he's my valentine.
