A Card From the Heart

Wynn made a card for me.  I'm told she spent about a day and a half on it and was very eager to give it to me.

The front says "For Mom,"  (and I just love that because she's never called me Mom.)

The back shows it's from Sweetheart (and endearment she has attached to herself*).

and the inside . . . 
. . . is lovingly filled with snakes!
They are even mounted on accordion-folded paper posts for 3D effects and motion.
I hate, despise, loathe snakes.
But I sure love this card!!!

*She had heard my mom call me "sweetheart," and apparently liked the sound of it.  I call the kids Sweetie, Honey, Angel, Beautiful, Angel, Hooligan, Goonie . . . but it seems I don't say Sweetheart.
Wynn first called me Sweetheart a couple of times, laughing and testing it out. Later, she was clarifying what she thinks each child's title should be.  "Your Baby Boy, your Funny Boy, your Cute Boy . . ."  
I said, "But Wynn, who are you?"
"Sweetheart!"
She didn't miss a beat.
So, Sweetheart, she is.

  1. Knowing you as well as I do, I can't help but chuckle that she gave you pictures of snakes! But how awesome that she called you 'mom' and wanted to spend the time to create something special for you (reptilian or otherwise).

  2. She made me a lovely card too. No snakes :)
    My card has initials of everyone in the family.
    I love it!

  3. What a wonderful nickname for her and a precious (though somewhat scary!) card for you. It sounds like you guys are bonding/adjusting wonderfully :-)
