H, I wish I could keep and document everything you bring home from school.
I want every drawing, every doodle, every assignment.
I do.
But some of the crafts you bring home, I honestly don’t know what to do with.
Point and case is the scarecrow you made in Friday-care leading up to Thanksgiving.
It’s awesome – and it looks you put in a lot of work on it.
But honest to Jesus, the thing is nearly four feet tall!
I can’t put it in a folder, hang it on the wall, or prop it in the corner it’s so big.
The thing even lay on the floor in the dining room for a few days until we all got tired of slipping on it.
Your work is great. You are great.
But this thing has got to go.
Have no fear.
It rests in the archives, here:
K, biscuit.
You have started using this phrase that is just the cutest thing.
When you are wanting our attention you preface every other thing you tell mom and I with:
I was hoping to tell you…
“Dad! I was hoping to tell you that I wanted to see if we could go get ice-cream later today.”
“Mom, I was hoping to tell you that I think we should have a girls night tonight if that is ok with you.”
You are at this perfect age with it – and it is just the sweetest thing.
I love you.
-Dad
