"Since it's really special for Valentine's Day, that's why I'm doing it." my 5-year old said as his reason for opening a piece of chocolate. I couldn't argue with reasoning like that, so we both had a piece of chocolate with our breakfast. I even put chocolate milk over his Cheerios. Nothing like a sugar high to start Valentine's Day.
Aside from candy, we are celebrating Valentine's Day sans technology. We decided to stay off of our phones when we are together as a family. The TV will stay off, and the laptop will stay closed. Hopefully, this will help us focus on what's important.
And of course, we are celebrating by giving cards. This year we are not only giving them to family and classmates we are also giving them to our neighbors. Hopefully, this will brighten their day.
It's Taco Tuesday along with Valentine's Day, so for lunch my husband is taking my son to a special lunch. A one on one lunch date is something my 3-year old will love. And who doesn't love Taco Tuesday?
When I was in college I remember girls saying Valentine's Day was singles awareness day. I never believed that because Valentine's Day isn't just for romantically involved couples. It's a day that you can show everyone that you care. So don't just treat it like any other day, do something nice for someone else.
