A few points I loved:
Nora, I never realized you were so hard core about your table manners!  
Atticus, It's very humorous to me that when someone asks you your name you reply, "Hello, my name is Atticus".  It's very unexpected coming from a two year old.
Clara, your favorite thing about yourself is your one freckle?  Really?  I was sure you would say you liked your fanciness best.
Jonas,  I think it's wonderful that you couldn't think of something you didn't like about yourself.  


Lots of love, Mama

  4. Markelle,
    So very nice of you, exaggerated, but nice.:)
    Hey! I used to have a freckle on my lip but then it went away. Trey was sad.
    I'm only your mentor because you can see my failures and successes as a mom and then decide which course you should go.

    Brittany,
    Thanks. I'm glad your kids are in the preschool again and that you recommended me to your sisters!!
