Wil loves Valentine's Day. He loves love. He loves to tell people he loves them. He even loves to write out valentines, despite his general distaste for writing. This year his list was ambitious: teachers, ALL the kids in his program, and favorite friends from school. Nearly 50 valentines.
We broke the task into bite-sized pieces, deciding he'd do 5 a day for 10 days. That was all well and good but when I'd pull out all the stuff, he'd add more people to his list. He also decided to write a (short) personal message to each person, and put some thought into the matter. To one of his teachers (teaching a group of special ed students for the very first time), "I like your teaching and your abilities."
I've been back to the store for more valentines but I think we'll run out of both cards and time. If you don't make it on The List, don't you worry. He loves you.

It's my favorite holiday, too. I love that he is so enthusiastic about sending these messages (and not at all surprised).
No accidents that it's your birthday, m'dear. But I'm sure you already know that...
How could we possibly love Wil more?
so damn cute--i can't stand it!
How precious… born of love and birthing it continuously… what a blessing your son is.
