It’s a typical Saturday morning. The house is quiet except for my little man and I, hanging out in the living room while little sister and Daddy sleep in. He’s watching Disney Jr. while I surf the interwebz for yet more apartments/rental houses in our area (our lease is up at the end of March and the rent on this place is ridiculous, so we are looking for something else).
Boy comes over to play behind me, and starts talking.
Boy: “When you put a ring on someone’s finger it means your married.”
Me: “Yes, honey, sometimes that’s what it means, if you give someone a special ring like a diamond, yes.” (vague and not always true, I know, but he’s 4 and I had just started drinking my coffee).
Boy: “When you put the ring on someone’s finger, you kiss the ring then you kiss them on the mouth.”
At which time, he takes a yellow plastic diamond-shaped ring and puts it on my finger, gives it a kiss, and looks up at me for a smooch. Of course I obliged.
Me: “What does this mean, sweetie?”
Boy: “It means we’re married mama. I love you”
Me: “I love you too buddy.” (as tears well up and stream down my face)
I melted.
Best. Proposal. Ever.
Love this!!! I would have been bawling, too
What a special memory that you’ll treasure forever.
yes indeed. I am still smiling
That is so adorable! My youngest always tells me we are married as well, but he has never proposed! too cute!
aww that’s sweet!
Awww, I love it!! How sweet.
def an awesome moment
So cute! I guess that J already knows he’s got to share you with the kids. Hope he’s not too jealous.
What a sweet boy, and a precious moment to treasure. Love it!
yes indeed.
Aw, that’s precious!
Okay, this is just too cute! What a little sweetheart!
That is so sweet.
I would have melted too. What a sweet moment and an even sweeter little man.
SO freaking precious!! There is nothing like a mama’s boy!!!
I am tearing up! {pregnant hormones or not} So awesome that you documented this precious moment! LOVE!
Awwwww super sweet!! Love mama’s boys! What a special memory, thanks for sharing!
Now see, I don’t think I could ever take the ring off – here’s to yellow plastic rings!
Thanks everyone. I wore my ring all day Saturday, a good part of yesterday, and tonight when I picked him up from daycare
That is soooo sweet. I love those moments with them. In a few years look back at this post. It will still make you smile!
There’s nothing quite like the love our little boys have for their mamas! Precious!
So incredibly sweet. I love having boys – there is something about that bond that is so special.
