Princess is a first grader now.
And, she LOVES it. Which makes mommy very happy.
Every morning, while she eats breakfast (still VERY slowly), I make her lunch (she LOVES her lunchbox more than just about anything). She tells me what to include, and for the most part, it's an easy order.
Every morning, I also include a note for her. Sometimes she can read it -- sometimes she can't. I know this, because some days, when she gets off the bus - she says, "Mom, do you remember what my note said? I couldn't read it."
And, I tell her.
I just assumed she tossed the notes each day.
Today, she asked if she could buy a milk instead of taking one. I said sure, put the money in a baggie, and went to put it in a small zippered front pocket of her lunch bag that I've never used before.
She JUMPED out of her chair yelling, "Nnnnoooooooooo - Mom that's where I ..."
It was too late, I had unzipped the pocket, and saw, right there in front of me, all of the notes I'd sent in her lunch.
She saves them. Ugh.
Heart. Melted.

A very special girl that takes after her very special mother.
This took my breath away.
I love you!
Oh my goodness, sounds like my daughter. I write notes for her lunch every morning and she cherishes every single one. How sweet!
I'm smiling and crying at the same time. Precious...both of you.
I did the same thing when I was little!! She is like her Auntie No-No:-) Just wait until she has so many that she wants to buy a special box...that's what I did:-)
Was totally gonna post that is what Libs did . . she beat me to it! What a wonderful world, huh?
That reminds me I should write notes to put in my sons lunch more often! Thanks.
