Rowen's letter to the baby

Rowen has recently become very interested in writing letters to his relatives and friends. He will sit at his little table and talk aloud as he writes down his thoughts and questions to each loved one. Then he works very hard to fold each letter and place it into an envelope. On the front of each envelope he usually writes at least the first letter of the person's name that the letter is going to. We have been surprised lately at how many letters he knows how to write.

The letter below is to the baby. He "wrote" this at Grammy's house then as he "read" it to her she wrote his exact words down on a separate piece of paper. It is precious! Something I will keep forever to share with Rowen when he is a grown man, maybe even when he is about to have a baby of his own someday; and also to share with Rowen's sibling someday to show him or her how excited Rowen was for his or her arrival.



It is difficult to see in the photograph above but Rowen
has "written" (scribbled) his thoughts down.

What a sweet boy! I love how excited Ro is to be a big brother and how curious he is about his sibling...the vitamin thing made me smile!

Can't believe it is only 20 days from tomorrow until your due date...where did the last nine months go!

Will miss you tomorrow at the big welcome back breakfast...lucky you! :-)

That's darling! What a sweet boy he is.

Did your parents move to a house on a golf course? I thought they still lived in Cheney.

Glad to hear all is well!
