For my very first Mother's Day PB surprised me with some flowers (fancy local ones) and chocolates (fancy local ones, which I ate in one clean sweep) and BB's first painting!

Last week I had been joking that I can't wait to see the handmade card BB is going to make me for Mother's Day. So when I was given this there was not much I could do to stop myself from getting all teary and emotional.

Upon handing over the artwork, PB said he went to the toy store and got non-toxic paint that would be safe to use, as he knew that my initial thought would be all You Put My Baby's Hand In Paint?! (Actually, I was wondering that morning why on earth she had green under her nails...)

They very sneakily did this masterpiece while I was having a quick swim down the road. We all walked down together, I went in to do a few laps and I thought they were just waiting outside. Instead they hightailed it home for a speedy art class. Apparently BB didn't enjoy it very much. I think you can see that in her work. It looks angry.

I love my little family so much. Thanks team, you're the best. xxx

  10. LOVE it! I think it looks like little bear prints. Just think there are so many more of these to come. A lot of years of art treats for mum.
