2nd Grade Love Letters and other bad advice

by

Earlier in January, I shared a picture that a boy gave to Charlotte. Gave to her. As in a present. To me, mom radar went through the ROOF. I am not good with this stuff and I am envisioning that she has crushes and dates and boys when she is a safe age. Maybe like 26.

But to me…this is how it starts. Today, a cute little picture…tomorrow, running off to Vegas in a whirlwind marriage. Let us not forget she is EIGHT.

  • William is an eloquent writer too.
  • William would perhaps make a fantastic tutor for my left handed daughter.

But he has GOT to go.
