I have been saving a few of Summer's art and letters that she has been making for me. I have so many that unfortunately I have to throw several away. Here are a few of my favorites that I did decide to keep.
Lately Summer has been enjoying writing letters. She writes several every day and usually all on her own. This letter was one I found in her room when I went to check on her before I went to bed. She had gotten her blankets taken away for some reason I don't recall. She got out of bed, made herself a bed right next to the night light, and wrote this letter which I found next to her fast asleep. My translation of it is "You said that I can have my blankies back. I just want you to give them to me. But I love you."
I just smiled so big when I found this that I laid her back in her bed and put her blankets next to her. It is fun to see her learning to read and write. I love getting little notes everyday.
She brought me this picture and asked if I liked it. I was actually quite amazed that she came up with it all on her own. My favorite part is the possum hanging upside down.
Rough translation: "I love you and can't wait till we have another baby. I am waiting for a baby." I guess she really really wants someone to play with.
I don't recall what she told me this is. I think a dinosaur or an Elephant.

I am so blessed to have such a happy little girl. I love her so much, and I do look forward to receiving many more notes and pictures.

She is so stinkin' cute Melissa. Seriously, she's adorable. Wow! I'm SUPER impressed with how well she writes!!! Good for her. I read somewhere about a family who started an art wall in their garage because they were receiving so many fabulous drawings and pictures from their 6 year old, they couldn't obviously keep everything forever so they decided to tape up every picture on a wall in their garage they designated "the art wall". At the end of the year, they took a picture of the art wall and then let their kid tear it down so that they could begin a new one. I'm thinking of starting one here at home cuz the boys bring home so many creative pieces of art every day from school I have a difficult time deciding what to keep and what not to keep. Another idea is to invest in a scanner and just scan everything she gives you and then at the end of the year make a c.d. so she can see it all later on. Just two ideas that I thought maybe I'd pass on. Oh b.t.w. have fun in Idaho! What a treat you'll get to visit home, hopefully there will be snow!
Those notes make me so excited for my kids to grow up!! So cute!!
