Love

What five year olds have taught me about love...
  • always run to give the person you love a big hug, even if you've only been away from them for a couple hours
  • bring flowers on a rainy day just because
  • cuddle everyday
  • pay attention to the small details (what they're wearing, the tone of their voice when they say something)
  • say, "I love you" when you leave them
  • be eager to listen the their stories
  • make homemade gifts and cards frequently
  • play together
  • don't be afraid to cry and let someone hold you
  • hold hands
  • sing silly songs
  • admit when you're insecure, feel left out, or just need some encouragement
  • don't judge others based on what they wear, how much they weigh, or what they look like
  • get excited over the little things
  • only say kind things to one another
  • schedule "play dates" (or actual dates) and talk about how excited you are about them
  • share your lunch
  • compromise
  • surprises are good things
