On top of the box goodies I found yesterday afternoon Roan brought home something special for Holly, for Mother’s Day. I wasn’t going to post any pictures of it and ruin the surprise, but since I see it sitting on her side table I assume he already gave it to her.

Two things I love about it: he’s decided the word “To:” has redundancies and therefore condensed it down to “T:” (I have to agree with him, that’s a lot of round characters in one spot), the other is the classic backwards card. I did this a million times as a kid, and I remember how when I was that age I’d realize I did something wrong and think – “Oh well, it’s still a card.”, where as now I’d be frustrated and feel defeated until I redid it and got it perfect.

I think my parents still have some things I made when I was Roan’s age. I’m going to ask, and see if I can scan or take photos of some of the stuff if they have anything. I wish I had my journals from Gordon School. They were packed full of awesome drawings.
