Today, I came across this adorable and fun book for $0.50:
(I am not sure what a potato pan is...so if you know, please tell me.)
Inside are cute pictures like this one:
It wasn't until after I got it home that I noticed this in the front cover:
In case you can't read it, it says:
For Jack,
For your Palindrome Birthday
10-02-2001
I hope you have fun with these!
Love From
Your Nana
So, here's an eleven-year-old boy who received a special birthday gift that his Nana put lots of thought into, and Mom or Dad decided it was junk. How sad.
Because we waited until we were older to have kids, our kids may not get to know their grandparents, because they are all older. Therefore, if their Nana bought them such a special gift for their birthday, I would save it with a picture of Nana on that day until they are older, so they'd know how much they were adored.
____________
Dear Jack,
If you come across this, please tell your Nana we think she is the best gift-giver ever and get in touch with us so we can give you back your special gift to remember her by.
Love,
The Twinkies
PS - We have something in common. Our birthday is a palindrome too!

I love that bow. My baby girl has long thick hair (as does her brother) already so I need to start adorning her with girly girl accessories! :)
I feel more sentimental, also probably due to being an older first time parent. I've kept a journal for each of them during pregnancy and after because I want them to someday know how I felt about them. I'm not usually such a documenter but I've been keeping little momentos for them.
Nice post Flygirl. And great pic of the Twinks - they are so freakin' adorable!
That rocking horse is amazing! I've yet to find a second-hand shop in my current city (we moved end of Nov., 2.5 weeks after Gwen was born...), but I hope I do eventually so I can find neat things like this. Goodwill is one thing I really miss about the US. :)
