Selah June was really into Valentines Day this year. We went to Grammy’s on Monday and made cards for everyone in our class at school. We made more cards for more kids on Tuesday night at Grandpa’s jazz concert. And we took our Valentines cookies with us on Wednesday to share with our class.

But the biggest Valentines gift was the unexpected one Selah June gave me on Wednesday morning.

I found in the laundry basket of clean clothes a black skirt with white hearts on it. So I found a matching shirt for a perfect outfit for SJ for the day. And I fully expected that she wouldn’t want to wear it because she never wants to wear the first suggested option. When I showed it to her, of course she didn’t like it. So I left her watching cartoons to go blow dry my hair. About 5 minutes later, she threw open the doors to the bathroom and let out a big cackle. I looked over at her, and she had put her clothes on by herself!  WHAT??!!

It didn’t matter at all that she had her shirt on backwards. Who cares?

When we got to school, I bragged and bragged on her – telling everybody how happy it made me. Again she let out her signature cackles. The teachers all cracked up.
