In a drawer in my closet I have a drawer for each child. In it are special art projects and crafts they have made at preschool. I cherish them. But this weekend, my heart melted a little bit more than it already has when Wylie presented me with her special “ticket” she had made for me.
I love everything about this. I love that she made it with me in mind. I love that it is so raw and true. I love that she was beside herself with pride when she handed it to me. I know it is a treasure.
I realize it is simple. Only a name on an index card. To me, it is a big stepping stone because I know my baby is growing and learning…becoming bigger than the newborn I was holding just yesterday! Her excitement for learning is tremendous. This was just another reminder of how into learning this child truly is.
So… yes, I am sentimental and yes I will probably laminate this so it is somewhat frozen in time. And because I am overly sentimental right now, I might even frame my sweet baby girl’s first official written present to me!
