Beautiful Boy


Our sweet boy Cole turned four years old today!! As he prepared for his birthday party, he decided to bake cookies for his friends. He decorated them with much thought and artful skill, calculating each candy piece, each swirl of color, and every single sprinkle. When they were all done I asked him what we should call them. Since his party theme was "Rescue Heroes" I suggested, "Tornado Cookies" because of the swirls. He kept decorating and quietly responded, "I think I will call them "Beautiful."

Little Boy Wisdom #49: Find beauty everyday. Find it in the faces of your friends, the sprinkles on your cookies, and the laughter of children.

Okay...so where are the cookies hiding?? (Just kidding ;-))

Cole is cute and clever, and ALL of his creations are beautiful - just like his "Mama" that helps him make them!
