Valentine's Day Fun

We have a Valentine's Day tradition that started six years ago when Ella was nearly 10 months old. On Valentine's Day the kids get heart-shaped lollipops. Ella and James have been asking if they would get lollipops again this year for the last couple of weeks. They also wanted to know if Claranna would get one too.

Both wishes came true yesterday and the kids were thrilled! When Ella was a baby, I remember her taking a couple of licks of her sucker and then banging it on her highchair tray, smashing it to bits. Claranna's reaction was quite different. She LOVED her treat and she didn't bang it at all. In fact, once she put it in her mouth it she really didn't take it out. It was a struggle to get it away from her. She really has such a limited and bland diet that this was a huge sweet treat for her. Obviously we didn't let her eat very much and she wasn't very happy with us when we told her she was all done.

We all had a great day opening Valentines, eating treats, and playing with cousins. It was a lovely day!
