On Saturday we visited a local toy store to see the visiting Calico Critters Kitty character who was in the store for a few hours. The children each had their picture taken with Kitty & enjoyed playing in the store. I actually encouraged the children to look around for ideas for their Christmas presents. In our house, each child receives 3 gifts since that is what baby Jesus received.
The children were actually very sweet and not greedy. They even had difficulty choosing their items!! In the end, I left with a few ideas for each of the children.
That night, when I went to bed, I found a note on my side of the bed that made me burst into tears!! I have transcribed it below:
Dear Momy and Dady. I love you so much. You dot have to gev me a crimes presit. Becus oll i need rile is a hug. Becus i have the gradis famley in the hadt waid wrde. Yo al are the biet famley. love, dj
I will save this precious note forever!! I am planning to frame it & am mailing copies to the grandparents & godparents! So sweet!!! It is nice to see glimpses of your hard work making a difference!

How sweet! I wrote a similar sort of item (mine was a list) when I was five and my mother framed it with a photo from Sea Island taken the same year. We get love reading it now and it brings back so many wonderful memories!
This is about the sweetest note ever! I hope that my Caroline and Camilla will show some of these qualities. I'm waiting for your parenting book to come out (hint, hint).
