I just realized that I forgot to include this gem in my post about teacher gifts. The Boy dictated his messages to each teacher and I attached his notes to the outside of the gift bags. Since he's three, he doesn't totally get the surprise part of opening a gift. At birthday celebrations this year as we handed the wrapped gift to the recipient he's been known to exclaim, "we got you a sewing kit!" or "it's a skirt!" So, I've been working on reminding him NOT to tell people what is inside the gift so that they can be surprised. Here's one of his teacher notes:
I had a hearty laugh while taking dictation.

What subtlety! He ought to be a diplomat :-)
(I remember being three and blurting out "It's a purse!". My sweet mother assured me she hadn't heard what I said, but it was a hard lesson anyway.) And they do 'look like' little bags. I'm sure everyone loved the bags and treasured the notes.

That was funny, second graders sometimes don't get the element of surprise either.

'Thank you for making people not scare me'. That was my favorite line. So sweet.
