Lu just loved the letter we received from Canada! It was chock full of artwork! Lu especially liked the drawing of the dinosaur and volcano! She even got a princess coloring page! I think she may have found a kindred spirit! This little girl likes Dinosaurs and Princesses! Pretty cool!
The next letter came from good friends of ours who moved back to Germany last year. Lulu doesn't remember her little friend but loved looking at the wonderful postcards he sent. His mom wrote on the back of each telling us about the pictures.
We have received so many wonderful letters and drawing that I have placed them in a simple three ring binder for Lu and Em to look through. We will use this as a tool later when we begin to look at each state / country a little closer.
A nice bonus to the letter writing is Lu has taken a fancy to collecting stamps. No big surprise from my little collector!
That ring binder is a great idea. Bet the girls will enjoy being able to go through it over and over. I'm not sure exactly when the cows will be outside our window again - it will be when they come home for autumn - but will try to put up a picture for Lulu when they do.
ReplyDeleteone more collection! I was just getting ready to write about Bee's new collection- smooshed pennies... more trinket boxes are needed I guess!
