Ever since I became a mom, almost 3 years ago, (not counting
being prego) I have not had a Valentine over the age of 2.
Yes, very sweet but also lonely.
This year I decided to make it an awesome occupied fun day
with me and the little man.
It started off with a bribe that
went something like this:
Me: Hey Aur do you want to be my Valentine?
My Valentine: No mommy, no
Valentine!
Me: Ok are you sure? Cuz you will get to eat chocolate….
My Valentine: Yes mommy, I want
chocolate!
Me: So do you want to be my
Valentine???
My Valentine: I want chocolate.
Me: Ok good enough.
After bribe#1 scored me a
Valentine, with bribe #2 I managed to get an empty plate for breakfast and
lunch, if only I could get everything I wanted with the promise of chocolate.
Laundry was first on the list of
Vday fun….lucky for me my Valentine loves doing laundry.
He is obsessed with the gum ball
machine and of course tries to get only purple gum balls.
This time he bugged for more
quarters than usual, after giving him 2 dollars I was at my limit.
Of course being the little boy
that he is, he pulls his own dollar out of his coat pocket and asks me for
change.
One thing about this little boy is
Valentine or not he always makes sure, no matter what it is, that he gets
“mommy one”.
After using most of his change for
gum he decides to use a different machine and got a cute little ring for
himself. He then insists on getting me one, but all I could think was him
losing his quarter and being upset because he couldn’t get me one. But to my
surprise he did…………………………
….and I couldn’t have been a
happier mommy.
The day I kinda sorta dreaded
really did turn out to be ok.
We spent the rest of the day at a
routine checkup for him followed by a please don’t cry when they give you this
shot and I will buy you a toy bribe, and then back home for his valentine day
chocolates.
All in all the best darn Vday a
single mommy could ask for!
