This week we will be taking extra care to love one another with our words. Each child has a "mailbox" (microwave popcorn boxes). All this week, the kids will be secretly writing each other sweet notes on the heart cards and dropping them in the right box. (I'll write out Peter and Will's messages for them.)
Today...
Dear Hannah,
Thanks for playing with me so much.
Love, Will
Dear Will,
Thanks for playing trucks with me.
Love, Peter
Dear Peter,
Thanks for playing trucks with me.
Love, Will
(let's hope the boys have more to say to each other tomorrow. Grin.)
Dear Hannah,
You are pretty.
Love, Peter
I peeked at Hannah's messages...
Dear Will,
You sang really well this morning.
Love, Hannah
Dear Peter,
I love to play with you.
Love, Hannah
I'll be adding a few goodies, too. They will open their "mail" on Valentine's Day.
