little loves

i'm sure all of us tell our kids we love them everyday.

 but how often do we tell them why we love them? 

i found this little valentine project online and thought it was cute.

everyday, until valentines day, you put a new heart up on a door {or wherever} with a reason why you love your child. 

the boys have loved reading them. when they get up,

 i say "come see if there is a new heart on the door"

they get a huge smile on their face when i read the heart to them. then we usually go over the hearts from the days before too. i asked hunter why i loved him and he remembered the other 2 i put up, and i'm sure he will keep remembering all the reasons as we read them all everyday together.

here is our "little love" door

hunter's hearts say:

i love hunter because he is a good big bro

i love hunter because he makes his bed everyday

i love hunter because he loves Jesus

carter's hearts say:

i love carter because he shares {sometimes, haha}

i love carter because he is a good big bro

i love carter because he likes donuts

i am going to mix up some silly ones with some sweet ones :)

the kids also made valentines while i was cutting out hearts

i think kids of all ages will love this even if you have a teenager!

 they might think it's corney but who doesn't love to hear why they are loved! :)
