One great reason for having three girls is Valentine’s Day seems a bit more special. I’m not sure how comfortable I would feel giving my son (Gus of course) a little Valentine’s Day card with heart candy. Anyway…I got up and made my girls heart shaped chocolate chip pancakes and had their Valentines Day cards (which I made on my own — did you know I had such skills?) on the table. They came downstairs and were completely estatic. It was a wonderful morning!

I dropped Tori off at the bus stop and watched her get on the bus. The depressing thought hit me as I drove away…When will a Valentine’s Day card, special breakfast, and gift from dad not be enough anymore to complete her Valentine’s Day bliss? At what point will Valentine’s Day be incomplete without the Valentine’s Day recognition from another male? I immediately pushed those thoughts to the back of my mind and went back to my ignorance…believing she will always just need me.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
