While most people think of romance when they think of Valentine’s Day, we celebrate love.
Our boys are little now but we want to teach them early the fun they can have with it in all seasons of their lives. I have always loved Valentine’s Day. Even in my single season. My focus was not on the hall mark advertisement it was on the word love. Each year they make something special for Grandparents and for me and Peter to hang up. I love decorating the house with their little heart foot prints too.
As they grow older we want to teach them different ways to show people they care about how they love them. This is where teaching love languages begins: acts of service, words of encouragement, physical affection, and time. Love is taught year around and celebrated and reflected on more in our home as we approach Valentines day.

I love handprints and footprints of kids for crafts like these!

Me too! I get my ideas from Pinterest. I’m glad my babies like it too. My youngest was giggling when I was putting the paint on him.

I think that’s great what you’re teaching your boys . I think it will make them more thoughtful as they grow older. We should all express love more than just one day of the year. Great post!
