A couple weeks ago the boys’ assignment in Writer’s Workshop was to draw a heart and then write things they love around it. A few days ago I noticed Adrian’s heart page in his notebook.

I thought that was really sweet, but then he elaborated on why he only wrote my name. “I couldn’t think of anything else so I decided to just put Mommie.” Kids sure keep you humble and this one keeps us laughing.

(He did say later on that even if he came up with other stuff he still would’ve written Mommie because I am definitely a thing he loves. So at least there’s that.)
