Letter to Daddy

*I've been waiting over a week to post this. Had to wait for W to get his mail over in Afghanistan so I wouldn't spoil the surprise!
------------------------------------------------------

I went in Elliot's room tonight and she was drawing pictures of our family. It was so precious to watch her create everyone. She even labeled everyone (and spells names without asking how)! She wanted to send them all to Daddy, so I wrote a quick note on a separate sheet of paper. I asked if she wanted to tell Daddy anything and she said "YES!" Usually, it's something very quick, but tonight it was a book! It was so sweet, I couldn't help but post it here! Everything is completely UNPROMPTED! She barely took a breath telling me what to write :-)

Part 1:
"Elliot loves you Wes. And, thanks for being my Daddy, Dad. Thanks for being my dad Wes. You're a nice dad Wes and you're pretty cool dad, Wes. I love you Daddy Wessy"
Part 2:
"Elliot. I love you Daddy! You're a nice dad, Wes. You're the best dad, Wessy Wessy Pezzy. And, I got a great Mom too, Wes. And Wes, you're a pretty cool dad, and I got a pretty cool Mom. I got a lot of great Nannies and I love my Mimi too. And, I like all the stuff you send me. And, I love my brothers and I won't be mean to them when you're gone. I'm happy all the time, Wes. And, I'll be happy all the time that you're gone. Nothing else."
*Maybe it's cause I'm her Mommy, but I just think that is precious!

Here's a few of the drawings (I just snapped the pic's with my cell, so of course they are not the greatest)
