For Valentine's Day, young Erik gave Lizzy an enormous chocolate chip cookie that said "I Love You" in the middle with their names on either side. He also gave her a pot of lovely red tulips. (My absolute favorite flower that I can't grow here!)
Every time I see tulips, I am reminded of an occasion when Lizzy was little and in the process of potty training. I had a picture in the bathroom of pink tulips in a blue pitcher. While sitting on the toilet, Lizzy looked up at the picture and asked, "Mommy, what are those called?" "Tulips." I answered.
"Tulips? Hey! I've got two lips!"
