Luvabella would love to hear how your baby, toddler or pre schooler surprised you with their love for you! We all know this age can be tricky with sleepless nights, the "terrible twos", but that small people are also amazing at surprising you with a display of pure love. How does your LO surprise you with love - is it when you’re feeling low and they know just what to say, when they crack the biggest smile just for you, when they go to nursery and plant a big kiss on your cheek to say goodbye or when a special picture is created which you have to display on the fridge?

The team at Luvabella say “Discover so many real baby surprises with Luvabella! From the moment she opens her eyes and giggles, Luvabella will amaze you with her true-to-life facial expressions and personality! She moves, talks and plays just like a real baby. Through touch and play she affectionately responds to your love. Cover her eyes for a game of peek-a-boo, tickle her tummy and toes to make her giggle, or place a hand on her chest to gently listen to her heartbeat. You can even hold her feet to hear her say “mumma” and begin to babble! The more you play with her, the more she’ll talk. Her babble will transform into over 100 clear words and phrases! Caring for Luvabella is fun with her four interactive accessories! Use her spoon to feed her and she’ll chew with delight! If she’s not full, she may ask you for more. After her meal, help Luvabella learn new animal names and sounds with her Lamby toy! If she gets fussy, all she needs is her soother. When it’s time to go to bed after a big day of play, lull her to sleep with her bottle. Get to know all of Luvabella’s real baby surprises! 4 x C batteries required (not included).

My Dd has competitions with me at night before she falls asleep about who loves who the most. She is getting better at it now but when I used to tell her I loved her to the moon and back she would often reply she loved me to Aldi and back as that is the furthest she could think of

If its been a long day and my little ones can tell I'm a bit tired out they stroke my cheeks and tell me 'its alright mummy'. Really melts my heart. My 5 year old will also cuddle my 8 month old if he gets upset while I'm busy doing something else, she settles him better than anyone!

My DD loves drawing me pictures and cards with love hearts all over them.

When I was ill my 3 year old daughter came into my bedroom with her money box. She emptied it out on the bed and said "look mummy, I don't have much money but I'm giving it all to you so you can buy medicine to make you better" I thought that was the sweetest thing as she was showing how much she loved me by wanting to give me all her money she had been saving up so that I could be well again. It made me feel very emotional!

My 15 month gives gorgeous snuggles but has started to pat and rub me on the back when she’s cuddling, gets me every time!

Aw I love all of these my dd has always been very loving and tells me everyday “I so love you” the first time she said it I was tucking her into bed, my heart melted and I’m not ashamed to say I shed a few tears, it was so not expected but meant the world to me.

she knows I love the fried eggs in haribo sweets so she will always give me a fried egg sweet even if it is her only one in the packet

My ASD son saw me watching an advert for a chocolate coin maker and said he was going to ask santa to get it for me as he knew I liked it.

Every night my littlest lady tells me that she loves me forever and ever and will never say she hates me! She smothers us in kisses and cuddles - hope it never ends!

I was feeling really stressed the other day and my 2 year old just came over and gave me a big cuddle, ahhh!

I was having a pretty bad day, when my son (then 3) came into the room, gave me half a packet of wotsits and proceeded to sing Jingle Bells and do an accompanying dance (in august, with his tongue sticking out cause of the effort!).
I laughed and told him how lovely it was and he broke into a big grin and said "that's good mama. That was your dance that I made for you to make you smile, because your smile makes me smile and I love you"

It was the most adorable thing, and definitely kept me smiling for a long time!

Lots of ways, but the lovely little notes about being the best mummy in the world will always be so very special!

My little pudding randomly blows me kisses but when he thinks I’m sad or tired he’ll run up to me and kiss me on the lips. He’s 18 months and is so loving.

Whenever I’ve not been strong enough to walk away when I feel tears coming on and I’ve sobbed in front of her, my 2yr old comes up to me, puts her hands on my cheeks and says “It’s ok Mummy, you’ve still got me! “ loves you!!” And hands me a baby wipe and her favourite teddy.....

She’s a blessed little soul with so much compassion. Love her!

My dd keeps a scan photo of her baby brother in her bedroom and I caught her the other day filling up a recycling bag of all her old 'baby toys' that she wants to give him. I also get random kisses and hugs off her as she tells me how much she loves me and the baby in my tummy, never fails to bring a tear to my eye!

I love it when my children hug and kiss mebut what makes me feel most loved is when they give me a little present they have made and a picture they have drawn as althought it might not be somethibg big to them its massive and that means alot to me.

My littlest is definitely the most affectionate of my children, and I love it!
He's always climbing on me for a big cuddle, says the sweetest things and constantly makes me laugh. At bed time he always shouts 'Howdy, I love you, I miss you' randomly! I do tell him Howdy doesn't actually mean goodbye but it's kind of stuck!

When my DS (age 4) teacher asked him to describe me he said ‘she is a princess’

DD 22months pulls my head next to hers at mealtimes and tries to feed me, tells me ‘good mum’ and then gives me a big wet kiss

Our five month old, her little face just lights up if we even briefly leave the room and return. The way she snuggles into our chest when she is tired and dozes off.

When they say cute things out of the blue like "I love you mummy" and give you cuddles.

When DD was a toddler and I was feeling a bit under the weather, so was lying on the sofa, she got me a blanket and a teddy to make me feel better.
:)

My baby is very young, but she’s at the stage when I’m breastfeeding her she will suddenly stop to stare up intently into my face with a big milky smile.

Or when someone is holding her she will look around at me and watch me until I look at her and then she will give me the biggest toothless smile ever.

He always makes sure that I have a biscuit too if he's having one (he's just turned 2)

we would be watching tv and he would jump on me and say i love you

My son who has ASD, surprised me by looking me in the eyes, smiling and saying I love you. It has only happened once but it is the best moment of my life.
