Last night was Back to School Night at Belle's school. We met Belle's teachers, saw her classroom, and learned more about her kindergarten experience.
The teachers invited us parents to sit at our child's seat and to write our child a "letter of love." Craig and I wrote a little note and drew a picture which we left in the classroom for Belle to enjoy when her teachers deem it appropriate.
Glancing around at what other parents wrote to their children, I enjoyed all the different ways parents tell their child they love them.
One mom signed her letter to her son "I love you always (and no matter what)." Another mom wrote, "I love you to the moon and back" which is the final line of the children's book Guess How Much I Love You? This reminded me of how we used to say goodbye to my grandparents after visits: by saying "love you" five times, each time with a kiss.
I like to tell the girls that I love them every second of every minute of every hour of every day forever and ever and ever and ever.
