Found endearments.

Don't they just melt you with those little notes??
I just found a love note in my baby girl's backpack and it made my day!

ohh very sweet! Just love when one comes across this stuff.
Just like my niece after seeing Jack Frost (Micheal McKeanon) She said, "Mom, I love you so much," She was 5. back then.
I was just admiring that and hope I can do that for my child someday!
It's the warmest feeling ever, isn't it?

That is a real treasure! I love surprises like that - glimpses into our children's minds. :-)
Thanks for sharing!

Ali, so sweet, so precious and absolutely priceless!

that is just precious...

That is so sweet...it must have brought tears to your eyes...it did to mine!

Awww, that is adorable!

PRICELESS!!!

Oh my. How incredibly touching. I teared up and don't even know you and Simon irl. Thank you for sharing. You never know what you'll find in those backpacks, do you? I recently found a cut-out fish on which my kindergartner had written "Penguins like fish with sprinkles." I'm scrapping that funny one!
On an only vaguely related note, I blogged about one of my backpack "finds" that made me think about my son's autism in a different way. If you're interested, here's the link... http://questioningmyintelligence.blogspot.com/2009/01/godiva-chocolate.html

Awwww . . . maybe Mom should write a note back: "My dream is that I have Daddy, Simon, and Anna forever."

Awww- what a sweetie pie!

How sweet!! His handwriting is incredible.

What a treasure!
Sounds like a little boy with a happy, secure world. What a gift you & your husband have given him.
Thanks so much for sharing this.

aaaaaaaaawwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!
Give him a hug from me!!! And I'll hug my kids as they run by to busy to stop!

What keepers(the note and Simon)!

That is so so precious. Gosh.

that is the sweetest.

A forever treasure. Seems like a little glimpse into what sharing also might mean to him. This is really touching, Ali.
btw, I so love those little dresses in Anna's room. Worn so fleetingly but oh so precious.

How very sweet, just makes you all warm and fuzzy on the inside!

Nothing like a good cry in the morning. What a special memory and a special boy!!

Oh my, that goes into the stack of things Mom brings out and fondles on the rough days! He is the sweetest boy Ali. On another note I just ran off and ordered the alphabet poster for my grand daughter. So cute! Thanks for sharing...and I did share with the seller I came straight from your blog!

That is the sweetest thing EVER!!

What a treasure.

That is too precious!

:) too sweet.
