Note

Logan loves to get mail. When I came home the other day he had a birthday party invitation for Caci. He opened it and I read the details to him. The words he heard were, party, water and four. After I was done he told me he didn't want to go because he was already four. I explained to him that the party is not for him it is for Caci she is turning four and would like him to come celebrate with her. After a little while he accepted that this party was about someone else.
A few minutes later he told me he needed to let her know he was going to attend with a note. This is because the T.V. told him that when he gets a note in the mail he has to send a note back through the mail. I told him he can do that or, we can call her. The latter was not acceptable, so we wrote a note. He started to dictate the note to me, the first draft was something like this;
Caci,
I am not coming to your party, I am already four....
I had to interrupt him Logan, we just talked about this, remember, this is a party for her not you.... "Oh, I remember.". He began to dictate another letter;
Caci,
I hate cake. I will bring brownies. My birthday is December 18, it is going to be a lot of fun, I hope you come.
Bye, Logan
After a few revisions by Logan the final letter ended up something like this;
Caci,
I hate cake. I will bring brownies.
Bye, Logan
He made me read this to him over and over to make sure I had gotten it right. He insisted the note be on a Spider-man card. We didn't have any, so we put a Spider-man sticker on a blue daisy card. It passed his inspection and did look very classy.
Although he was having a hard time with the idea of someone else having a party, I was proud of the kid and his, er, thoughtfulness when it came to his friend and her note. I was a bit worried about the way it would come across, as he didn't mince words, but at least he gets to the point.
