Had to search for this thread after being gone for a week. Fitzi - those notes are hilarious! Keepers for sure.
I have to report that I did find the calvin and hobbes books and read a bit to DS4 last week. This morning, he gets up and says, "where's that calvin and hobbes book? I need to look for some ideas for mischief." (And for the first time ever, I spotted him reading a book by himself - so i'm still weighing the positives and negatives with this one!) And last week at the grocery store, he quoted Calvin while he was sitting in the cart: "Mom, go really fast and then let go!" I can only hope that someday we'll get a note like yours.
That's great!!!
My DS-then-5 did something Calvin would have been proud of last November. The kindergarten kids were making "I am thankful for..." drawings that were laminated and turned into placemats.
All the other kids drew pictures of their families or their pets or best friends. My DS5 covered the paper with dinosaurs (he's been mad into them since well before he was 2) and wrote
"I am thankful for dino2aur2" (those 2s are backward s's).
The teacher looked a bit aghast, but we hung it prominently on the wall and it remains there.
