The concept of Valentines day is a difficult one to explain. Especially when there isn't a whole lot to explain. Its a made up holiday in which everyone feels pressured to give people crap to eat, and if you are an adult and single its a time to feel badly about yourself.
With school age children its all about giving the Valentines day cards. Fortunately mine are still too young to be a part of the inclusion/exclusion element of Valentines day cards. Everyone gets one at school.
Holden and Oliver both had Valentines day homework. They needed to make ( or buy) Valentines for each child in their class. Making was not an option. I'm not about to spend 4 months trying to get them to make Valentines.
Oliver loves doing homework when Holden does his homework. So one night we sat down and Oliver wrote out all of his Valentines cards and Holden wrote out about three, complaining the entire time.
The following day I put the Diego and Princess Valentines on the table. I was going to fill them out for Griffin and Laurel to bring to school. Laurel saw them. She saw Princess!
" Oh! Oh! These are MINE! Oh! My.. my... my own homework!"
She was so proud.
I love those moments.
