Mia Gianna spent a whole afternoon last week crafting Valentines for her friends and family.
I helped her by cutting out hearts and writing her messages. While she was crafting, I took pictures of her. I tried not to laugh as more and more marker got on her little hands, and on the end of her nose! It was also so sweet to watch her use little mannerisms, like flipping her hair, or holding her chin in her hands and sighing as she thought about something. It was lovely watching this little girl put so much thought and attention into each card.
The design of each card, the colors picked, the sizes of the hearts, were all her ideas. Each time that she started a new card, she would announce who the card was for, and then she would spend a long time coloring and crafting the card. After she finished all of her Valentines, I put them all out on the dining room table to dry. We looked at them together, and I admired how she had made each one different. I told her that everyone is going to be so happy when they open the mail and find a Valentine from her. She beamed, pleased with this news (and maybe, with herself).
Sadly, I have not put them in the mail. The snow we got this weekend kind of put a halt to my usual routines, like shopping and errands. I am going to put them in the mail tomorrow. Please know that Gianna made these Valentines with so much love, and I'm so sorry that I'm lazy and couldn't mail them on time!
Happy Tuesday.

PS Bode made only one Valentine, for "the white-haired Grandma" (as he says). So Nana should feel extra special when she opens her mailbox and finds an envelope from Bode Wm! xo
