From the moment my baby was born, I loved to read to him. At first his interest level was minimal at best, but as I kept reading I noticed that he started to be intrigued. From the words to the pictures, he began sitting on my lap longer and longer as I read. I was surprised that he soon had his favorite books (just like I do). He’d perk up when I started reading “left foot, left foot, right foot, right…” from Dr. Seuss, and started to giggle when I’d pick up The Little Blue Truck. He tried to help me turn the pages and he started bringing me books so he could climb up on my lap. As a mom, those moments were cherished. It was just me and my little getting lost in the pages of a book.
This quote means something special because it reminds me of all those times where he’d be on my lap as I read to him.

As Summer Draws to a Close
The very last days of summer are now upon us. Summertime almost feels like a distant memory now. Something that felt like it just begun is now ending.
The end of summer is a bitter/sweet time for me. I can’t help but think about all the adventures that came with it, such as picnics, BBQs, fireworks, pool time, weekend camping trips, vacations to grandmas, last minute road trips, snow cones galore, and lots and lots of sunshine (and sunscreen)!
As the weather begins to change and kids go back to school I can help but think of the new adventures and opportunities that come with a new season. Let’s all look forward to what fall has in store, knowing that the lazy days of summer will come again.

National Grandparents Day
I ran across this quote the other day and I found it to be very true. I think it applies to both grandmas and grandpas.
“Grandmas are moms with lots of frosting.” -Author Unknown
Sunday, September 13th is National Grandparents Day. Grandparents make life so sweet.
Petite Lemon wanted to pay a special tribute to the grandparents that make life so sweet for our little lemons! We are so very grateful for them. We hope you can pay special tribute this weekend to those who make your life so very sweet also.
