Prairie Hero


I Love The Way You
carefully preserved some of your treat and pop from our special "date" to bring home to the girls.

You Made Me Laugh When
You were forced to stand in the front row during sunday school promotion and were about as animated as a mannequin. When all the kids sang "we bow down" and actually bowed down you remained stoic and straight as a stick figure. When the girls giggled over it in the Suburban on the way home and said that you were embarassed; you matter of factly corrected them that "No, you were *not* embarassed. You are just shy."

I'm Proud of You Because
You made nightime pullups history! Yeah, you did it! You get your pick of the toys next time we hit Value Village bud!

Prairie Hero


I Love It When You
Recite "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" to Prairie Prince while you are in your beds; by memory and at the top of your voice.

I'm Proud of You Because
You lost your first tooth, and you don't know how. Now there's a boy for ya.

You Made Me Laugh When
Daddy told Prairie Princess she looked like a flower in bloom in her pretty yellow sunday dress and you hollered, "Dandelion! Get the spray!"
