My son has the same exact eyes as my husband and I got to fall in love with them twice.
He just looked up at me with the same look as his dads and I just totally missed my husband.
See, told you it was cheesy.
Your turn!
Aaaaw, that's so sweet! Here's my cheesy addition:
My husband and I went to see a movie, and he bought me Snowcaps at the concession counter. Before we went in, I stood over a trash can, peeled off the noisy plastic wrapper, and tore open a corner of the box for easy access. He said to me, "Honey, if the whole world was as considerate as you are, there would be no wars." I looked up at him, and he was totally serious. AAAWWWW. :)
We just moved out 2 yr old daughter (27 months) to a double bed yesterday and I secretly cried a bit because she is getting so big. I have a 6 week old daughter too that makes my toddler seem so big to me now and it makes me a bit sad that she is growing up and isnt a baby anymore (but as any Mother knows, she will always be my baby =)
That's not cheesey.
The balloon my husband gave me on Valentines Day has stayed up all this time. I have it in my office and it has been up something like 53 days. I call it a V-day miracle. Well, it's starting to deflate and sag today and I'm kinda sad about it. Now that's cheesey. This stupid balloon outlasted all life expectations and now that it's drooping I'm sad about it!
I'm raising my GD who just turned 10. She loves me very much, but she is totally loyal to her mother. She won't tell me Happy MOther's Day or anything like that because I'm not her mom. That's okay - hurts, but she's a kid, it's how she feels, it's okay.
Well, around Valentines they had a writing project where they were supposed to write thank you notes to people in their lives.
She wrote one to me where she said something like "I love you because you are always there for me. You have never let me down and you have given me a home just like a mother."
Wow! Guess she has noticed!
Awwww....sweet.
I like this quote:
"Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” -Elizabeth Stone
Not cheesy at all! If more people would share these tender moments, the world would be a better place!
What melts my heart is when I see one of my kids mimicking a phrase or gesture they have seen from me, their dad or grandma, etc. The other morning my daughter (3)woke up crying. My son(4) ran to her and wrapped her in a big hug and said sweetly, "I'm here, baby girl." Brought tears to my eyes!
Thanks for sharing!

When my son was just a little guy (maybe 3 or 4) he said I was his best friend ever - which made my heart swell and break at the same time. Just a few weeks ago (he is now 8) he told me that he wanted to break the record for the world's longest kiss with me! haha - I told him that is NOT a record you want to break with your mom - but I was secretly thrilled cause he is still so sweet and innocent and for right now loves me best of all. Now I'm teary eyed...lol
My son (almost 6) drew a picture of himself, me and his father (we're divorced) shaped like big hearts, with a smiley face on them, holding hands. There are 2 big hearts (me and dad) and the little heart (him) next to each other. In between the two big hearts (me and dad) he drew a flying little heart, with wings and all, who he called: the angel of love. ALthough we don't live together and his father lives overseas, he still sees us as a family, bound by love. I don't know if that's cheesy, i just think it's the sweetest thing i have ever seen. I carry the minimized copy of it in my wallet.
I usually check on my 12 year old DD's blankets when she's sleeping. She'll often reach out to hug me in her half-asleep state. I often whisper in her ear "you're the little girl I always dreamed of". She always drifts back to sleep with a smile on her face. Yep, we've got some cheese here in NJ too.
No cheese there, Molly. What a great sense of family connection.:)
I had a sweet moment yesterday. We'd taken Kiddo to the park yesterday. He was running around with his little parachute guy, laughing his head off and having such a lovely kid time of it. Joe and I just looked at each other, smiling our goofy faces off. It was a wonderful moment of 'we did this together'...deepens the bond, those moments.
Thanks for everyone else's stories/posts too. Inspiring, to look at our lives through loving eyes.
That's precious!
Yesterday at the IL's, my niece took the bike w/ training wheels DD was riding on and wouldn't let her have it back. (She was doing this because she is not very nice and likes to make DD upset.)
I told DD to ignore her and she would get off the bike. So she tried very hard to keep her emotions under wraps and VOILA-niece got off the bike proclaiming how stupid it was.
DD yelled out from the reclaimed bike: "Thanks mom! You really do know everything! You're the best!"
Not often she says such sweet things to me...so my heart kinda melted a bit. :)
Last week I got pulled over cause my tags were expired. While sitting in the car waiting for the policman my four old says a couple of statements one is super cheesy...
1. "this is sooooo exciting, you got pulled over mom!" Gee can you say it any louder buddy?
2. Him "mom what is he doing back there"
Me: "He's checking to see if mommy is bad"
Him "WHOA YOU ARE NOT A BAD MOMMY!"
He was ready to throw down! But super sweet that he in that moment thought I was a good mommy!
Both my kids, resemble my late Dad.
And they have his great qualities/character.
Its like a little blessing everyday, to look at them.
That's very cute! I just had my first son and he is the spitting image of my husband, I look forward to this feeling.
If that's cheesy, then I'm a cheesaholic.
My DIL has the kids off this week from school. So she decided to make a 700+ mile trip to visit us and the other relatives in this area. She fell and hurt her arm and had a hard time taking care of the kids. I flew up to Sacramento to drive the last 500 miles. My grand son (5 years old) said grampa, I love you. Thanks for helping mom. I had just carried all of the luggage in from the van.
Cheesey is wonderful.
Good luck to you and yours.
My husband and 4 year old daughter call each other their "bestest-best buddy". ♥ Love it!
Too cute. :)
Last night while my husband and I were cleaning the living room, my husband was encouraging our son to keep trying something. Apparently it took him a few tries but he eventually got it with my husband's encouragement. When I finally turned around to figure out what those two were going on about, I saw my 15 month beaming proudly and standing on top of my coffee table. I told him sternly to get down. Our my son flashed me this devilish look and then turned to my husband as if to say it was all your bright idea and you let me. My husband turned to me and gave me the same devilish look our son had just given me. Those two dirty dogs...what one can't come up with the other does.
No cheese today on my end, but your post made me smile. Lovely.
Awww! NONE of these are cheesy (except for that yummy cheeesy recipe)! They're lovely, sweet stories about how wonderful life can sometimes be - thanks for sharing!
awww that's sweet! it's the little sweet moments that make life so great.
This is more funny than sweet but today my 10 year old was watching Dora with her toddler sister and I my heart just melted, specially because my 10yo doesn't like Dora but she wanted to hang out with her sister so she endures it just for her!
Also the 10yo told me, "Mom don't you think Swiper should find another job? I mean he is TERRIBLE at swiping stuff" LOL!
Take a 8oz package of cream cheese, mix with half a packet of ranch dressing. Put on crackers to eat.. Mmmmm....cheesy. Tee Hee
ahhh geez, that is totally cheesy but i love it.
Sorry no cheese of my own to share.
