postcards?

So is it that hard to send a postcard to a 4 yr old? I ask because it seems that way for my family. I have 4 siblings - one sent a postcard, of my 12 Aunts and Uncles -zero, nada, zilch. My in-laws have been way better, even a postcard from a cousin I never met. It stared as a fun way to learn the States, she became interested when we traveled to see family. I thought it would be fun --just think how many friends and family in different places I have, her collection would be huge. Getting the postcards has also helped her when she has a hard time with the whole move thing. She sees the ones on her wall and sees that her friends do remember her, "even far away in Baraboo"

On the crafting front I finished a quilt from the UFO bin, finally got the christening gown in the mail, and made a few doll outfits.

B's parent teacher conference went well. She adds "spice" to the classroom. Her teachers are impressed with her vocabulary. How many people really expect a 4 yr old to tell them "I have a dilemma "We are hoping to get an "official" reading level for her sometime in March. Her teacher is guessing at about 2nd grade at this point. I gave her a book tonight and she disappeared into her room until she had read the whole thing. 4 Harold and the Purple Crayon stories in the book, so much for a new book. On the upside she accepted it this time. Last time she refused to take a new book because she thought she had to give up her old books, like her house and friends.

D is getting so big. Such an explorer. Today he got busted on the counter, and yesterday we are assuming it was him who ran the dishwasher. A very good friend sent a gift that causes him to have a "million dollar smile" A puppy that sings and talks to him, it teaches a few things but mostly he likes it because it is his. He is learning his letters and numbers already, and loves books as much as sissy does. Got busted with 6 books in his bed at nap time the other day.
