Melting Grandpa's Heart from Afar

Rowen wrote an email to her Grandpa Bruce today - she wanted to write to him after she saw me working on a layout with his photo on it. So she dictated while I wrote:

Dear Grandpa,

I love you. We watched the Care Bears, and my favorite Care Bear is Cheer Bear. I built a cloud car out of cotton balls and a box. I put a cotton ball in the glue, and sticked it onto the box. Tonight we are gonna - I don’t know what we are gonna do, mama? Mama says we are gonna walk by the lake and ploop rocks in the lake like this! Ploop!

I hope you’ll have good love from ME, and we hope you’ll be a good grandpa forever!

Love,

rowen (she wrote her own name!)

 

And here we are plooping rocks in the lake. :)

His reply?

Rowen,
Thank you so much, you made Grandpa’s day.
Love,

Grandpa

I love when kiddos learn that they want to communicate in ways like this ... I know my parents love getting the pictures my kids draw, letters they write, and e-mails they send (usually dictated)!

Oh how cute! That is so precious and what a wonderful memory to document. Can't wait to hear my boys do stuff like that as well. Well, can wait but looking forward to it as I don't want them to grow up!

This is so sweet. I used to do the same thing with Markus when he was little. I love the aspect of writing exactly what they said. That is part of what make is so sweet.
