Mummy remember when I was in your tummy?
Yes baby…
And remember when I was inside your tummy and you were inside Nana’s tummy and we were playing…?
Ermmm I’m not sure I remember that Finley…
You do Mummy! Remember we were playing a game and I reached up to catch Nana’s heart and it broke?
Remember Mummy… The day I broke Nana’s heart?
Happy Mothers Day Mum.

Hahahahahaha!! Thats all kinds of cute!
I have confronted mixed emotions in reading of your chat with Finley. I had a tumultous and troubled time for the first 14 yrs. of my childhood with my mom. Suffice it to say I got mixed messages of emotional/physical abuse and tender loving times..both from the same woman I called “mom.” I think that will help you to better understand where I am coming from in my reply here.
Finley’s perception is wonderful, Ali. We are each products of the generation of women who precede our own moms. Bear with me….I’ll explain! I am connected to my mom, my grandmothers, my great grandmothers…and so on. I know it is physically impossible to share “womb” space as Finley expressed to you BUT I can vividly remember as a child having similar feelings of connectivity. He has brought those feelings rising to the surface….so tell him I am grateful for his gift of memories stirred in my heart this day we call Mothering Sunday. xxxxooooo
(((((hugs Finley and Ali)))))

Happy Mother’s Day!
Very, very darling!! My 4 year old son told me the other night, after brushing his teeth, “Don’t look – I’ll shine you’re eyes off!” Aren’t kids the best thing that’s happened to us?!! Blessings… Polly
That is SO cute! Heart breakingly cute – if I can borrow some of Finley’s words!!!
I wish I’d paid half as much attention to my own kids’ sweet sayings when they were little as you do with Finley. Luckily, I now have a grand-girl that I get the chance to pay attention to.
You are such a good mama!!
What beautiful words come out of that child's mind… 🙂
…just fabulous Finley!! Alison, I hope you had a lovely, restful (!) day. x
His mind is amazing, and his words always leave me with a catch in my throat.
You have a very special little man there.
Oh I can’t stop crying…too special, thanks for sharing.
Ooh, do you think that little boy of yours has been here before?! His words are stunning – as is that photo!
Like mother, like son…
I’ve enjoyed reading the comments here as well. Very insightful.
Hi Alison, I’ve just read this whole page. We have awful traffic wardens in Southport too -just where do they come from? Are they a separate species designed specifically to make you avoid towns? Are they the latest Gov. way of making you therefore save your money? Am I paranoid? LOL
You’ve had me in fits of laughter with the nail on your nose date too. Thanks for that.
Melanie
AAhhhhh he is just so cute.
love Alison x
