He had pointed out a covered up area in the classroom on several occasions and explained that it was a surprise. A four year olds version of secret keeping is soooo entertaining. I shall be quite put out when this particular phase passes as it is such fun to share in his less than discreet enthusiasm for the whole process. Here's is a peek at the envelope:
Naturally after all of this build up I was quite looking forward to opening my envelope this morning. But first let's all take a moment to marvel at Hayden writing "MOM" on the envelope. That alone made my heart smile. Learning to write his letters is a huge struggle for Hayden and this represents a great deal of effort on his part. He was very proud of this and so was I!And then came the treasure stored inside....
I knew that there had been feet painting involved (more stellar secret keeping from the boy) but had no idea how precious his rumored rainbow feet would be. I cannot wait to frame this and have it up in the house.
In case it is difficult to read: "This is to remind you when I've grown so tall...That once I was quite little and my feet were very small. "
Happy Mother's Day to Me! And of course, a big thanks to all of the Mother's working at Hayden's preschool who take time to help the kids learn about gift giving.
