He quite often buys me flowers when he comes home from work as I like to have fresh flowers in the kitchen window and our daughter always seems to show interest in them.
When my husband dropped her off at nursery yesterday, the head of nursery took him to one side to tell him how pleased she is with Lucy. She said that she always say's please and thank-you and is so helpfull and caring. My Husband was over the moon, and that evening when he came home from work he was holding a bouquet of flowers in pink and lilak. When he told Lucy they were for her she got sooo excited. It was the sweetest thing I've seen for a long time. They are now in her bedroom and loves them. I just wanted to share that with you really, as I'd never think to buy a 3 year old flowers. I feel so lucky to have such a lovely Husband and daughter.smile

That's really sweet. Maybe you could press a couple or dry some so that she will always have them.

That's brought a lump to my throat, how very sweet and how lucky she is to have such a thoughtful dad, and you such a lovely husband.

When I was in hospital after having dd, someone sent me a lovely bunch of flowers and a little posy (posey sp?) for her. I thought that was very sweet. We took a photo of it for her and she always mentions it whenever we talk about the people who did it.

Sorry I also meant to say, am very jealous of you. Don't know when I last got flowers not related to Val's day/mothers' day - if ever!

good point, noddy! grin

Your dh is clearly a doting father and quite right too. Bet she remembers this even when she's grown up.

Awww, that's so sweet. It has actually given me hope that the baby stage passes and there is a child at the end of the very long babyhood tunnel! Your little girl sounds such a sweetheart. How lovely of your dh though, let him know how special he is too!

That's so lovely
My parents bought dd some flowers recently when she was poorly (she's 4) and she was thrilled
She is unlikely to get any bouquets for considerate and helpful behaviour lately though wink

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
