A refugee family is part of our holidays this year. They're from Africa and Brian wanted to write their son a card, as they are about the same age, to welcome him.
I printed out one of the journal pages so he could add a picture too; that's a butterfly and a bee hive dripping with homey on the tree. I love seeing them take this kind of interest on their own. I only had to tell him to probably not wish a Muslim kid merry Christmas. I also love that he thinks the important things to know about Utah is that it gets cold in November and pizza should be given a chance.
And yes, I'm the one who told him how to spell sincerely wrong :-); he'll be a much better speller once he stop's asking me how to spell.

That is more than adorable!!
LOL! My 10 year old son is a much better speller than I am.
I love his welcome note. He's a great kid.
that is just too cute
seriously your family makes me think twice about not wanting to have kids... thanks thats really cool...
Scot, #1, cute as buttons.
#2, You've lived in Utah, WAAAAY too long. You're suffering from Apostrophitis. (Over-use of the apostrophe.)
Don't worry, you're not alone...I too have a mild case. I also have English Majors for parents, and thus tend to hyper-correct my spelling and grammar.
Thanks all. If there's anything I can't get enough of, other than our kids, it's hearing how cute they are from others :-).
Kengo: "You're suffering from Apostrophitis. "
LOL he'll... That's how I'd say it.
What's worse is that that is the least of my problems with the English language. Why can't it just be logical?
he'll be a much better speller once he stop's asking me how to spell.
I thought he'd already learnt that lesson.
And yes, he does spell much better than you do, I know this first hand.
And this is excessively cute. In a good way.
So cute, sweet--and impressive spelling! Speaking of spelling, Emma and I were watching Akeelah and the Bee over the weekend (great flick, by the way, if your kids haven't seen it) and when Akeelah was asked to spell "prestidigitation", 6 yr old Emma immediately spelled it perfectly! No, she's not a budding genius like Brian seems to be, but I still thought that was pretty impressive (okay, seeing the film several times certainly helps)!. ;)
It's such a joy to watch these kids learn and grow, isn't it? I love it!
