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). For ages 4 years and over.”

I love it when my daughter tells me she loves me when I least expect her to say it, it warms my heart!

CA95616 · 31/10/2017 21:19

I have to admit my little one (DD2) is a grinch at the best of times! Though she does have the occasional day off and radiates love and happiness! I love it when she caresses my cheek and says “mummy I’m happy” which is her special way of saying “I love you”

When I told my son I wasn't feeling very well he went running off and came back with a wet flannel to put on my head, just like I do with him sometimes when he has a bug.. so sweet!

juju3 · 31/10/2017 21:27

When they are completely unwilling to leave you - you are then the only person they want and love

My two year old gives the BEST cuddles! He hugs me right and kisses my cheek. The other night I was putting him to bed and said "good night mummy, my best friend" made my heart melt.

Catmadroo · 31/10/2017 21:50

My son will make pictures with hearts and I love you so much and I stick them up on wall to remind me alongside our normal cuddles and love you forevers.

KavvLar · 31/10/2017 21:59

The moments when they come up to you unprompted and unexpectedly plant a huge kiss on your leg/tummy. Pure love

freefan · 31/10/2017 22:06

I just love when we are sitting reading a book and I get a random hug, these ones are definitely the most special.

NauticalDisaster · 31/10/2017 22:08

It was when my toddler shared his strawberries and blueberries with me. He loves his fruit and doesn't like to share, I knew he really loved me more than anyone when he starting sharing his favourite fruit with me and only me.

CheeseEMouse · 31/10/2017 22:18

My youngest ssys "I lubb you, mummy" which always makes me happy :)

Jesswoods1992 · 31/10/2017 22:18

My son is always telling me he loves me cuddling me or kissing me my middle daughter is very cuddly but don't say love you shes the timid one lol my oldest it's very rare I get a cuddle or kiss but if she sees me upset or quite she will just randomly come hug me and tells me she loves me she likes to leave a note every night telling me she loves me and her brother and sister 8 and a heart of gold

MakeUpGirl · 31/10/2017 22:25

My 3 year old says I love you a lot and gives lots of amazing cuddles but the most special thing she does is to wave me off to work every morning and shout after me "be careful not to fall over in the dark mummy" It makes my heart melt every morning and makes me so proud of her

buckley1983 · 31/10/2017 22:37

My LO only gives affection very sparingly, so it always feels extra lovely when he suddenly surprises me with a peck on the check :)
If I've ever hurt myself - he'll always say 'You ok Mummy? Where are you hurt?' & I'll point to my stubbed toe & he'll kiss it better - cute!!

lhlee62 · 31/10/2017 23:00

I love it when my daughter runs back from the school doors to get me a kiss and a cuddle as she forgot. My youngest woke me up this morning by kissing my on my cheek

Countduckulanose · 31/10/2017 23:10

My one year old takes my face in his hands and really focuses on me sometimes before going back to what he was doing, as if to say 'you're my mum let's have a moment'. 😍

Sid98 · 31/10/2017 23:32

My kids make me a card or give me a hug

BeeMyBaby · 31/10/2017 23:32

I had been trying to teach ds to kiss me for months but he was just refusing even though he would kiss dh. I took ds (about 18m old at the time) to a show, he absolutely loved all the clapping and dancing and half way through he beemed at me then gave me a huge kiss Grin

KittyKat88 · 01/11/2017 00:02

Both my DDs are very affectionate and I get lots of cuddles and kisses from both of them. I love it at bed time - they always want "just one more kiss and cuddle, mummy!" and they always get it! Wink

del2929 · 01/11/2017 00:12

my dd always makes me a coffee on a weekend!

compy99 · 01/11/2017 00:38

every time, unprompted and for no reason saying "I love you" gets me every time.

AnneGrommit · 01/11/2017 03:40

I was doing one of those kids' magazines with ds and there was a bit where it said "draw a picture of your best friend". I said to him ok so who's your best friend? No response. So I started to prompt him, making suggestions of his friend' names, reminding him who he plays with. And then he looked up at me, all blue eyes and seriousness, and said as though he were amazed that I didn't know the answer: "But it's you, mummy".

It just overwhelmed me.

Caillou · 01/11/2017 07:42

My toddler can be challenging these days, especially with a newborn in the house, but when she comes and hugs me or gives me the biggest kiss makes me forget it all.

Thesqueezermustghost · 01/11/2017 08:15

Just that look they give from their infinite wide eyes and the grabbing onto any body part available, cluthing my leg or little hand in mine.

Sparklesandglitter · 01/11/2017 08:20

My LO tells me that she loves me “more than the world” and always makes me smile! She’s loves making cards and pictures for me an her daddy and giving lots of cuddles and kisses 💖

AR2012 · 01/11/2017 08:39

Hugs and kisses and the good old "love you daddy".
