Happy Belated Valentine's Day! I had a little me time a few weeks ago so I made the boys some Valentine's Day shirts. Timmy helped me design them on the computer, telling me where I should place the hearts. He picked the dump truck for his shirt and said that Tyler would like the train. Then he told me, "When I am bigger, I will make you a shirt for Valentine's Day!" He's so sweet! I was glad that he was excited about the shirts and he was even happy to try it on for a photo shoot!
On Valentine's Day I got to go to Timmy's school for a while to help with activity time, snack time, and play on the playground. I had another chance to see first hand how amazing his teacher is, Patty has a few students that are really a handful, but she handles them wonderfully without ever dropping attention from the class as a whole.

On the playground Timmy asked me to slide with him and play chase, then I watched him and his friends run around and even roll down the little hill together. Finally Timmy was ready to swing, which we hear he has been enjoying almost as much as running lately. While we were waiting for his turn, he told me, "I will swing on one swing and you can swing on the other one." I said, "Well, I can push you and we can let someone else swing on the other swing." He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Uhm, Mrs. Gordon can push me, and you can push the other person." (!) Apparently Mrs. Gordon is an excellent pusher!
That evening I arrived home to find a dozen roses from Tim and a bouquet of daisy's from the boys.
We all exchanged cards and gifts, I had planned to take more pictures of this, but Timmy helped himself to the gift we had told him was his, before I could go get the camera, claiming he was 'too excited' to wait! We got him an Angry Birds piggy, in hopes that it can be his Angry Birds new target, instead of us! Tim made us a delicious dinner to wrap up the evening.
A few days later we got this wonderful letter in the mail!
