I love, love, love when someone suggests something to inspire a new thing. Jennifer is an old buddy of mine who goes way back to elementary school. We both have little boys and when she asked if Ethan would be interested in a pen pal I don't know who was more excited. I miss a good old fashioned envelope coming to the mailbox. When it arrived I used it as a dangling carrot to get through homework faster. He opened the envelope to an adorable collection of drawings as well as the instructions on how to make a proper star. Justin even wrote out the entire envelope which alone probably made his hand a little sore. After some brainstorming, Ethan wrote his response. He thanked him for the star directions and wrote a response letter complete with a drawing of all of his pets. It gave me the chance to review addresses and what goes into a nice letter. This world of fancy gadgets has afforded us many wonderful new things but it is sad to see the letter slowly drift into a thing of the past. We sent our response letter out and can't wait for the next one!
Thanks, Jennifer, for the idea and for giving Ethan his very first pen pal!!!
