Today, Iain's class exchanged cards and enjoyed a special party in honor of Valentine's Day. Iain made little paper cards for the kids in his class (five besides him), but he made three special cards for his ladies.He used glue to put pictures of flowers (thank you, Bluestone Perennials, for your lovely catalog!) onto cardstock, then cut it out in the shape of a heart. On the back he wrote personal notes to Donna, Meghan, and Callie.
When the time came to present his card to Callie, she thanked him profusely, said she loved it, and gave him one of her special "fierce" hugs (the kind where she grits her teeth and gets you in a headlock). Iain blushed!
The party included cupcakes, cheese sticks, grapes and little gift bags with a chocolate heart, a lollipop, and a little clementine orange (the oranges were Iain's contribution to the party). In all, I'd say a successful celebration of the day of love.
Just now, putting Iain to bed, Charles and I said, "Night, night, Iain." And he replied, "Nie-Nie, DonnaMeghan..."
