"LETTERS"

Whilst looking for important documents to assist in my name change (which finally happened today!!) I found some letters which were written by my kids when they were younger. I'm so glad I kept them as they each tell a story of their personality at the time they were written.

These first letters are written by Sian:

As you can see she was kind of cute!!! ... and then kind of angry (especially when we had occasion to ground her!! She was always extremely remorseful afterwards though, but she never suffered her punishments in silence!!
I love different things in each of these letters.
In the first letter, she has attached a little piece of paper which tells me that I am "now in the sexy girls club"!! Woo hoo!!
The next letter paints a picture of me as an ogre as it is thanking me for 'letting' her get her hair cut!! I must have been particularly cruel at other times if I refused something as basic as a haircut!
The pink letter is inside a home-made Mothers Day card and shows the 20cents that she proudly gave me. Priceless!!
And then came the temperamental years...thank God she was a gorgeous teenager and all this rot stopped a bit before her thirteenth birthday!!
These letters are very funny though! The larger of the two is an apology letter and I love the part that lists what she has done wrong...
"A.  been a shit"
"B. can't think of what to say"
The last one was probably the last one of this nature that we received. Sian was about 11 or 12. Don't you just love the capitalized "EXPECT"?
I love her to pieces...Life will never be boring while Sian is in it!!

The next letters were written by Jake. He pasted the first two on the front of the letter box on the day of my birthday. He was in Grade Prep! The final letter was written during a computer class in Grade One...he really was friendly with Shane but it does display the sense of humour that Jake had even at that age!
