We have been making Valentines like mad around here, preparing for the classroom exchange coming up on Thursday. In typical Miles fashion, he was reluctant to participate at first, especially since they were given specific directions to make a card for each classmate and to write a positive statement on each one. We compromised and came up with some short and "snappy" sayings that he felt good about using. In fact, he came up with "Here's Lookin' at You, Kid!" all on his own. His cultural influences trend more toward Calvin and Hobbes than Casablanca, so we're still stumped on where this came from. Others included "Nice Work!" for the girl he calls the Teacher's Pet.
Somehow in the midst of all this goodwill, he also felt like playing Cupid for George and I. We found these cards in our respective jacket pockets. He explained later that he just wanted to "strengthen our bond."
We wish he'd put the same energy into strengthening his handwriting skills, but still, very cute!
Ruby got into the act too, so between the 2 of them we have lots of lovely Valentines to each other, all ready to go for the big day. And my favorite of Ruby's gems for her classmates--
