November 30, 2006 | Offspring: ecstasy and agony
“Mama, do you think I had a good day today?”
“I dunno, Buddy, did you?”
“What do you think?”
“Well, I sure hope you did. I think you probably did. Should we look?”
“Yes. You should look.”
“Okay, go grab your book for me.”

“Did you know that I drew all of those smilies myself?”
“Yes, I had a feeling that you had. Well, that is awesome.”
“Yes.”
“Have I told you lately that you are my very favorite boy in the whole entire world?”
“I know.”
(Happy Love Thursday, everyone.)

Cool book! We just get a regular daytimer and it’s just for the parents and teachers.

On a side note, love the form his teacher uses. Wonder if she made that herself or if she found it somewhere…. I have some kids that could benefit from something similiar in my class….
