I'm going through a phase right now where I've decided to only wear dresses. This naturally involves some initial expenditure and a lot of dress shopping, but I've got a list of good, practical reasons that dresses are better and have been making my case to Mr. Ashley (who likes the dresses, just not the cost).
I got a cute new dress to wear to my birthday celebration and was finishing my make up when Big Kid approached the bathroom door and gasped.
"What?" I asked, applying mascara.
"Oh my...I can't even believe it."
"What?"
"Your dress! Mom, you look so beautiful dat it makes me feel like I'm gonna cry!"
I lowered the mascara wand to look at him and laugh at his tendency for drama and HE HAD REAL TEARS IN HIS EYES. That he was quickly wiping away with the back of his hand while giving me a sheepish grin.
I've never, ever felt prettier in my whole life.
Ever.

Aw, Big Kid is such a sweetheart!
awwwwwww
I hope if I ever have a little boy, he is as sweet as BK.
That is just so cool. I'm not even going to make a wisecrack.
Love it!
Love it. Baby Girl did that one day when I was shopping and trying on clothes. She said, "Mom, you look fab.U.less." I bought it of course.
So sweet!!
Aww......
Aww...now I am sheepishly wiping away a tear too.
Awww... such a sweet boy you're raising! He knows to buy jewelry and gives great compliments. :)
Aw, that is so sweet.
I wanted to make a crack about how he can rock out his pimp costume by throwing out those kind of compliments... but that is just too adorable. Has he asked you to marry him yet? *sigh* little boys are so cute.
Good grief! That kid amazes me all the time!
dresses are the BEST, no matching, just put it on and grab shoes and a bag..
Oh gosh. That brought real tears to my own eyes. What a sweetheart.
This gave me the biggest chills AND made my heart so warm all at the same time. Love, love, LOVE this.
That's so sweet!!
oh my gosh, that is seriously the sweetest thing I've ever heard. Big Kid is beyond adorable. You are a lucky mama!!!
That is so sweet!!!!!!!!!!
Your kids seem absolutely adorable even though I know you try to steer us away with their crying and fighting habites!!
That is seriously one of the sweetest things I've ever heard!
Too sweet. I think we need to see this dress.
I think this qualifies as "true love"...nothing for Big Kid to gain or lose by saying what he said...just his honest heart-felt thoughts...lucky you!
He's so adorable.
Even if he wants to be a pimp.
:)
cutest. mac. daddy. EVER.
Oh man, I have tears in my eyes. Those are the moments I hope I have in life.
Awwww... I love it when the boys get all goopy-eyed over Mommy! (I love having a son. LOVE IT.)
I think this is the sweetest blog you have ever posted....
I LOVE it when my little boy says things like that. He once saw me in a dress and with great awe said, "Mommy, you're a princess!" I promptly adjusted my will to reflect his good deed.
You are raising a wonderful man there:)
AWWWWWW! That Big Kid is such a gem!
