[blparent] Valentine's day

[Melissa Ann Riccobono]

Austin enjoyed exchanging Valentines with his class. They actually had a
"Heart Healthy" party, so requested no sugary snacks or juice for at the
party itself. He did get a small amount of candy to take home. I thought
this was kind of the best of both worlds approach, and did appreciate that
he didn't come home all hyper from too much sugar.
	The neatest part of Valentines day for me was that Austin wrote a
card for his youngest sister, Elizabeth. She is only 8 months old, so
obviously she didn't appreciate it, but I tucked it away in her memory box
and hope she'll appreciate it later. Austin's class has been working on
writing letters, so he had to write a card to someone, and he chose
Elizabeth. He wrote, "Dear Elizabeth, I love you. I hope you have a good
Valentines Day. Love, Austin." I just thought it was very cool that he
thought of Elizabeth and chose to write her a card.

It was my daughter's first V-Day in school.  Lots of cards and candy.

So did you all do anything fun with your kiddos today?  Gab says midschool's
no fun.  When they were in elementary, they always crated cool bags and
everyone exchanged cars!  Now, they do nothing.  She did, however, bought a
small box of chocolates and shared with her buddies!
