That is the sweetest thing I’ve ever read. Imagine how much he will cherish that when he gets older. When I have children I pray that I can have such a way with words to write sweet letters to my children about how they are as a child and what is going on in their world. It all goes by too fast. Thanks for sharing Betsy…you are the best :o)

This made me cry! My son is 3 and is wonderful too. Boys are interesting. Ms. Jossy’s picture should be framed…what a beauty 🙂

What a great letter to Miles. He sounds like such an adorable child! My daughter is ‘gifted’, she doesn’t like the stuff other kids her age do, never has. It’s been trying but we do a lot of explaining, and have had a lot of tears. She’s 15 now, fairly well rounded, isn’t into sports, but does enjoy what she has to do in gym class most days. She can be found reading, or drawing any time of day. She can memorize her keyboard music, and never have to use sheet music, but hates band. She can spell anything, but won’t use her knowledge to get better grades, she knows exactly what has to be done to get an okay grade, and to not stand out. I figured in the end, if we can take her out in public, send her to a friend’s house (she only has a handful), etc., and we get good reviews back about how polite she is, how helpful, and a pleasure to be around(she’s 15, this doesn’t happen too often) we did good and she’ll be okay.
