C is for...

EDIT: My husband kindly reminded me that I committed a major no-no by posting C's pic on my blog (which I haven't told my friends about) without asking our friends. Thankfully he told me after a few hours of posting. It was a careless and honest mistake. Please bear with me as I learn the do's and don'ts of blogging.

Happy CANADA DAY everyone!
Though that's not the 'C' I had in mind.
Meet this little guy....

[EDIT: This stick figure is cute, but the real C is super cute and has a smile that will melt your heart]

C is 3 yrs. old and one of the sweetest little things!
The doorbell rang the other night and it was little C standing with his mom H, a very dear friend of mine. It was a "surprise visit" and I was very happily surprised! H went on to explain that they decided to drop by because C had mentioned me throughout the day so C and his dad decided to go get me some flowers...

Aren't they pretty? These are now sitting in my kitchen where I can see them everyday :) Apparently, C was pretty set on getting me a "stick of bamboo"...LOL, smart kid must've known it's the one plant I can manage to keep alive! But his dad suggested I might like these better...H has taught him well :)

The kicker?
Just as they were about to leave,
H told me that C said, "Ela...is my best friend."
That was one of the sweetest things I've ever heard.
I just love him and we really do have the best times together.

[EDIT: C's been cropped out but that's him hugging me]

The best things in life really are free aren't they?
I know the flowers were paid for but I'd take a hug from C over flowers, any day!

Thank you, C.
You're the best friend a girl could ever have.

~Ela

p.s. I know this doesn't have anything to do with "dressing" but I just had to share, it really meant a lot to me.
Hope you guys have a great one!
