how children steal your heart

After a doctor appointment today, I took the eight year old to Burger King. Seemed fair.

Got one of those "Antz write-on Wipe-off" boards and the kid promptly drew a little picture that Charley has claimed and posted on his wall at work.

The top of it says:

I love my family.

It is a drawing of Charley with glasses, me in a dress holding Charley's hand, the three kids and our dog.

    Oh Christina,

    What a wonderful way for a child to say I love you.

    I know how proud you are of that drawing, I still treasure the ones you drew for me.

    Have a wonderful week at camp. Hugs the kids for me. And hug yourself and Charley.

    Love,

    Mom
