My Sweet Little Guy

My little one has been saving up his allowance to buy a Mother's Day present for me. That child just makes my heart swell.

He got off the school bus today and ran into our home, yelling "Whose your mama?" I laughed and grabbed him. He gave me this beautiful card that he made at school today. It has tissue paper flowers on it and he wrote:

Happy Mother's Day from your #1 fan/son {insert full name here}

On the inside, he wrote:

You are the very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very BEST mom in the whole world!

Now, this is special to me for a few reasons. As we all know, the best gifts are the ones that your kids make for you. They are filled with love.

However, my little guy also has Asperger's. His small motor skills are not very good at all. He has physical therapy twice a week to help him. His classification also means that he doesn't have to write his assignments in class; he uses a computer to type everything. For him to write so much to fill up an entire card, both on the outside AND on the inside, just made me melt.

I've got this beautiful card on my nightstand where I can see it every night before bed and every morning upon waking.

Oh, and he gave me a blueberry bush because that's his favorite fruit. We're going to plant it together on Sunday.
