What One Dollar Buys Today
My four-year-old had only spent his own money once before today … on a Matchbox car. Today, he bought me a present, the flower in the photo above. It cost a dollar, but the sweet part is that he thought of it himself and used his own money.
I’ve since re-potted it into a nicer container (one my son gave me for mother’s day) and am doing everything I can to keep this little thing alive.
What I want to know is, where did your son buy the plant? I’m a huge plant nut (typically do better with things that don’t bloom, but…hey), and am always looking for affordable ones.
Home Depot of all places! I think it’s an annual, so it will die soon ;(
What a great gift! So nice to have a thoughtful little one, must have a thoughtful Mommy
Awwwww…what a sweet thing for your son to do. And I love that you are doing everything you can to keep it alive. So sweet!
Aw, that’s sweet! That’s really thoughtful of him, I wish the best for that plant, even if you said that it was annual.
awww that’s so sweet of him to do that! It makes me so happy that people are willing to do things for each other out of love, like this video about true love and its meaning: http://www.shortform.tv/w/feel_good/an-inspiring-love-story-for-a-beautiful-special-someone
