The Cutest Thing EVER!!!

My Mom has planted flowers all around her house since I was a girl. She absolutely loves them! They are beautiful!

This morning, she was not able to water her flowers so once we begin our routine, it was almost afternoon, so she asked Sean to go to her house to water her flowers. She told him to call her once he was starting to water them.

I was fortunate enough to witness the cutest thing ever as I got ready for the day. My Mom had Sean on speakerphone and she told him how to specifically water each flower. She told him the proper setting on the attachment to the hose and told him how long he had to water each pot.

She told Sean to talk to them and let them know that he was her grandson. I began to laugh when I saw the complete joy on her face! Sean declined from talking to the flowers but he painstakingly watered each one exactly how she told him to water it.

He was so engaged and listened to everything she told him and asked her questions when he had them. He followed her directions to the letter. As he moved to the back of the house, he asked my mom what to do with this, “Bad boy,”. My Mom immediately corrected him by telling him that they are ALL girls and they like to be called “Beauty.”

My Mom has told me before that it takes about 45 minutes to water all of her flowers. I have only watered them once in my life when I was about 16 years old. The only reason I went outside to water them was because there was a crew of workers on my roof at the time replacing the roof so I wanted to be outside to look at them.

Once Sean was finished, he told my Mom that her flowers were beautiful but he did NOT like watering them! I am so happy that I witnessed their exchange as Sean listened to my Mom and did what she said as my Mom was almost giddy at the fact that her flowers were being watered when she couldn’t water them herself this morning. It was a really good feeling to see and hear my Nom’s excitement and hear my son doing exactly what my Mom said.
