My husband and I are trying to raise our children to be well mannered, considerate, and respectable young people.
Emphasis on the trying.
They’re not walking around wearing white undershirts and smoking but some days I worry if we’re making any progress.
Thank you cards are big in our house.
I believe it’s important for kids to learn how to write them and send them each time they receive a gift.
So everyday for the past week, our kids have written a thank you card to someone who gave a present to them over the holidays.
I’m fairly sure my 6 year old’s thank you card proves we’re not succeeding in our goal.
Ahh, I think it’s a good note.
Ah, look at the positives! Great penmanship and spacing, complete sentences, superb punctuation, good phonemic spelling and my, that kid has voice! A+ in my book!
Haha! I love it! I think the thought is right and maybe he doesn’t totally understand the concept now, it will definitely be something he remembers and hopefully do on his own. I love this idea!
We got a puppy. Poop is a very popular topic in our house now, too.
I’d much rather get a “real” note like this than just a “thanks for the _____. I like it.”
Thumbs up from me!
The note is very sweet, if not truthful. I’m sure his aunt and uncle will treasure it.
Oh I dunno about not succeeding. That’s possibly the best thank you note I’ve ever seen! I will be in stitches if my godson ever sends me a note like that! 🙂
Ha ha! Adding detail. 😉
He he…sounds like the memory game helped him recall the important things from a family trip 😉
Awww and I just received your thank you note!
That is a good note. Kids and poop comments just seem to go hand in hand, especially for kids in school. Its is just their immaturity. As my mother used to say she sent me to school innocent to the world and came home knowing bad words. What a challenge we have.
