Thursday Thirteen – sweetest comments of the past week
I do get a lot of comments on here, and generally I try to answer them all on Saturdays – I was trying to do it every day and it was just too much, it’s actually easier to do in one big chunk. Anyway, I read them as they come in, of course, and I got some of the sweetest comments this week, which I thought I would share with you for my TT today! I’m just using the names and addresses from the comment, let me know if you need anything changed, Lil’ Duck and Daddy and I are all playing a modified hide-and-seek, so I don’t have time to run to each blog to find your real name or anything, sorry!
- Patty – “My advice to you is cherish every moment as if it is your last. Time flies and when you blink Lil Duck will be a man. When you do it right he will still have that look and mom will still be awesome when he has children. Trust me it is a wonderful feeling when you look at the man you reared and know its good.”
- Trace – “This post makes me want to have some of my own! You know, I remember being at a coffee shop sometime in 2005. I watched as a lady and her little boy walked in. He wasn’t much more than 5, so cute in his little boots and jeans – typical “little boy” wear. When his Mom had ordered for them he walked in front of her and opened the door for her and was picking them a table on the patio. It was so heartwarming – movie-like. I wanted to hug him to bits! Your journal reminds me of that feeling.”
- Overwhelmed – “I’m really enjoying this age with my son (he’s 19 months old). Like your son, he’s sweet, friendly, and quite outgoing in public. His sunny disposition and beaming smile attracts a lot of attention. He also has such an innocent and refreshing joy of life that I hope doesn’t change for a long, long time.”
- Pastormac’s Anne – “What a sweet time. I was just thinking this week about how perfect my baby’s hand still fits into mine. I want to remember the feel of his little hand in mine forever.” She also has a sweet post about her little one to share…
- Samantha – “I have sooooooooooo many favorite things about brat1 and brat2 that I couldnt even begin to imagine posting them all. Even when they are mad, sad or just plain mean, ya know? The faces they make, the things they say, the way they ball their fists and put them on their hips…EVERYTHING!”
- Raggedy – “I just love it! How cute! You are creating a beautiful blog to look back on later. I am so glad you are doing this. When you read this years from now it will warm your heart and enable to you to hold these moments even closer… Huge Huggles from the Raggedy One.”
- Starz Above – “Enjoy EVERY stage – especially stages like this – where the sweetness seems to outweigh the sticky stuff. Before you know it, he’ll be 18 years old, an adult, embarking upon a life of his own, more separate from you than is comfortable, except that you’ll find joy in watching his wings spread so that he can soar!”
- Pamela – “You won’t believe it right now…but one day your favorite thing will be watching them pack up and head out on their own.”
- Kukka-Maria (who is a talented CAT!) – “I didn’t know Lil’ Duck was a beautiful, beautiful, precious baby! I’m retracting my claws now.”
- BooMama – “First of all, I’m so tickled that I’m comment 120. That makes me happy. I LOVE your colors – I’m a fan of apple-y, lime-y greens – and I love the red wall right next to it. Your kitchen is beautiful, too. Thanks so much for doing this – for sharing your home with all of us. I hope it was fun for you!”
- Robin – “Oooo…a mother’s love
, and a child’s reciprocal love, two precious, precious wonders. Especially after chocolate invades the whole house! Savor each stage, they’re all full of their own “favorite” memories!” - Zeus (another new cool cat friend) – “I did add your site to my list of Cool Human Pet blogs.” & “I think I want my own duck now!” (ha ha ha, he gets a mention just for the name of that list).
- KKAndress – “We have “Bear-Bear” not Bear. Not Teddy. “Bear-Bear”. He also has been through some hard times. Believe it or not, the 3.5 year old now will wait patiently for the whole wash/dry cycle if properly distracted! Of course, this does not account for the endless times he is stolen away while his owner sleeps unawares. Bear-Bear also now has grey eyes instead of black due to his weekly bleach baths and is not so vibrant blue any longer but still loved. . . . and here is the the most humerous part of all. we are on bear-bear #5!!! yup, same exact (Gund) “My first teddy” blue bear with satin neck ribbon. #’s 1-4 live happily in a bag at the back of Mom’s closet in various states of “loved up-ness”. Someday soon the truth will come out I’m sure as at 3.5 yrs old the little man is starting to be suspect of the “miracle bath” Bear-Bear sometimes gets. And the fact that Gund no longer carries this particular Bear. . . really, it’s just too funny but oh so bless-ed when bear-bear does his comforting job as no other friend can!”
I hope you enjoyed them as much as I did, if you get a chance to visit them, you’ll love all their blogs! (leave your link in comments!)

*EXCELLENT* idea for a list — wow!
:::files away idea in back of mind::::
Mine is up, too. We’re all so early this week!
Okay, you’re a genius. I’ll certainly have to steal this idea, you know.
Thanks for visiting my TT!
Thanks for dropping by!
Happy thursday =)
Wow, I have been away for a bit, do not think I have been here before. Love your list, always enjoy fresh ideas. Happy TT, mine are up.
Awww … it is SOOO nice to get such heartwarming words, isn’t it? I can totally attest to how great having a blog can be. Since my goddaughter passed away in March, I can always go back and read her blog and “hear” her voice again. It’s nice that your family will have your words for all time (or until the internets get stolen! hehe)
Happy thursday – thanks for visiting me!
what a wonderful TT … thank you for sharing it
Kewl. My real names Beth, just in case you wondered.
Awww, such great comments! It really goes to show how awesome the blogging community can be!
Happy TT!
Aww, I think I may actually sleep tonight. The kids have been revelling in the catching mommy looking at her computer and her eyes closing game for about 15 minutes now…. Silly children. So, I’ll post my TT in the a.m.
How sweet!
Great idea for a list!! Very sweet!
Happy Thursday, my TT is up!
That is some good comment mojo!
Isn’t it great when folks take the time to write something nice?
What nice comments!
And what a creative idea for a T13! Maybe one of these days I’ll have to “borrow” it…
Thanks for visiting my site. I love your Thursday thirteen. Bloggers rule!
also marking this down to borrow….
I loved pastormac’sanne’s comments about a baby’s hand fitting yours. I still say – now to our grandchildren – “wanna hold hands?” I love the way you can put out one finger and they grasp it with their entire hand. Got to do that tonight with my granddaughter. That looking straight into your eyes while they hold on for dear life – precious. Have to disagree with Paual – for me, when we dropped them off at college I knew we’d turned a corner we’d never go around again. Hard, hard to let them go – even if it was what we were aiming at every day up to then, it was still hard. Mine are now all 1200 miles away, grown and married and I hate telling them goodbye every single time we part.
Great list! I have a little boy that turns 1yr old this weekend. We are having a little party for him. Tonight was so cute, in that he has such trust in his daddy. He was intentionally falling off a bed backwards (w/out looking) because he knew his daddy would catch him – Perfect faith!
I am still overwhelmed..
Great list….
Thank you!
Have a wonderful day!
*^_^

Happy Thursday!
What a cute idea for T13! Also lets others know that you enjoy their comments! Great share!

Great Thursday 13! How did you modify the Hide and Seek? Hide and Seek is a favorite game in our house too.
Very nice. I want my teens to say sweet things, but maybe that will come back eventually. lol Anyway, my T13 – Various Jobs Edition is up at Bloggin’ Outloud – http://blogginoutloud.blogspot.com/2006/08/t13-various-jobs-edition.html
Aww! Great idea for T13! You’ve received a lot of wonderful comments!
Happy Thursday 13!
Terrific comments!
My number one priority is to allow Charlotte to live a carefree and innocent childhood. Something I never got!
You, and we are blessed Mama Duck. Through the portal that is the internet we share your wonderful family. That is so cool. When my kids were babies. We ddin’t have such a thing.
Now days the grandchildren are begging me to post their pictures on the internet. What a wonderful world we have in this country.
I am so honored to be mentioned among all of this remarkable list of “sweetest comments!” Thank you so much!
Echoing Zeus, I also want a duck of my own, but I’m a little intimidated…because I’ve heard they can bite down really hard (on tails, noses, ears, etc.) with those powerful beaks. I’m going to have to research, because I can not have someone battling me–the AlphaFemale–for power at our house!
Awwww… those are so sweet!
Aaww what a nice TT! how sweet!
Nice list! Thanks for visiting last week!
What a cute idea for a 13! Such sweet comments! Mine are up here and here!
These are truly very sweet! A great bunch of caring bloggy friends for sure. Kudos to a wonderful 13. Take care. -Margie
VERY nice indeed! Blogging would just not be blogging without all of the compassionate readers out there.
Thanks for sharing!
what a sweet sweet meme.
Thanks for stopping by my Thursday 13!
What a great idea for a T13! If only I got more comments!
How’d you do it??
Those are some really sweet comments you’ve had! Thanks so much for including mine. I was so surprized when I read your email letting me know! +o)
What a sweet way to recognize the folks who take the time to comment thoughtfully! Thank you so much for joining in on the Thirteen, I love stopping by to see what you’re up to!
Happy Thursday!
Very creative idea for a list! I told you I don’t ever get tired of seeing little ones learn new things and explore their world…it’s obvious that other people don’t mind that either.
My TT is up!
This is a great idea for a TT. Very fun to read.
GREAT GREAT list…thanks for sharing.

Those are some great comments. Consider yourself lucky. I’ve found it hard to gain regular readers and get a lot of comments. Of course my blogging has been known to be spradic sometimes when I’m in school so maybe that’s why. Thanks for stopping by. Happy TT!
