DS called me

[Buster51]

Back into his room to give me a kiss tonight

Awww! We have had dh's nephew with us for 10 months. We were out today and it was a bit busy, nephew slipped his hand into dh's for the forst time (we have never had any physical contact). We both shed a tear!

Fabulous Buster so glad.

After celebration DD said you can kiss me now I am your Sister. Sweet.

I still cherish the night I'd put DD to bed and after I shut her door she shouted in a very accusatory tone 'I want a cuddle from you', after many weeks of pointedly hugging and kissing everyone in the family except me Congratulations!

MN needs a like button.

I have an adopted DN and I know these things are major family milestone.

That's so lovely Buster, congratulations- wonderful progress

nephew slipped his hand into dh's for the forst time - when we were talking once about the small things that make us happy I mentioned the little hand that slips into yours unasked (rather than the "Hold my hand to cross the road" hand). My friend said "Ah yes - we call that the hand that makes me happy"

I have never forgotten that. It still makes me a bit teary to think of it. And thankfully at 8, DS still does it when he thinks no-one is watching.

the hand that makes me happy

Because it deserves to be in bold.

How lovely.

I still remember my first spontaneous kisses from DS - little dry ones on the end of my nose. He was about 3.

Enjoy.

Kew 'the hand that makes me happy'

My DS is similar age now and often won't hold hands but every so often says very seriously 'Mummy can I have a hand?'

Swans - I don't think (from memory) that DS started the hand that makes me happy until he was about 5, so there's time yet!

Oh I think I misunderstood - you mean he's about 8 now and has stopped...

I shall miss it when its gone.

I went out for the first time last week, to Zumba class.
When I got home ds said "I missed you mum"
He's been home 7 weeks and has always heavily favoured my DH. I may have got a bit teary.

I have the worlds best picture of DS meeting me off the train from work (with my mum not on his own you understand). He was about 3 and sooo excited to see me - its just the best picture EVER.

Must find it.

My lovely moment recently was when dd2's teacher told me they had been reading a Todd Parr book at Storytime and dd was shouting with great glee, "That's me - I've got brown skin! I've got two mums! I'M ADOPTED!".

Ha ha ha! Did anyone shout BINGO!

Lovely that you DD can actually celebrate it (sometimes at least) I know it isn;t always that straightforward.

It's just one long Todd Parr fiesta at our gaff.

Rare moment of social affirmation for the child who dreams of having blonde hair and blue eyes.

Putting my youngest to bed a few weeks ago and as he went off to sleep said "I love mummy I love daddy" sooo sweet the next line made me chuckle 'I love me"! Unforgettable moments!

These are all so lovely. My ds is 3 and I sing him a made up song about being my lovely boy, he sang it back to me the other day saying your my lovely mummy

Another one, today when when dd got home from school ds said to her when you have finished your biscuit can I have big cuddle. He loves having a big sister

DD looked at me seriously the other day and the. told me I was "a very special girl"

*then not the.

Aw I am loving all of these :) I've since had lots of cheek kisses

These are so lovely. My DS put a message for me on the waitrose Mothers Day wall of flowers. DH typed it on after DS said what it should say .... It made me all warm and teary.

These are super. We should keep this going.

Mine's a funny one... In the middle of a raging tantrum, DD shrieking (in among all the things that are wrong) "AND YOU ALWAYS GIVE ME REALLY GOOD FOOD AND NICE CLOTHES" . Haha. It explained so many of her upsets that she was angry about this.

Bless her.
