Love Notes

I read a lovely blog the other day about a mother who everyday put a note in her child's lunch box.

Her little girl loved these notes. 

Every night her husband would take the notes out of the lunchbox and place them in a glass jar on the window ledge for safe keeping.

Sometimes when the mother was running late in the mornings she would recycle a note. 

Her daughter found this very funny.

So  I decided to put a note in Master O's lunch box. 

It was very simple it just said :

"Dear Master O, Have a great day . Love Mum." 

(I did not want to embarrass my eight year old boy in front of his friends).

That night Master O said Mum you sent me a note.

Yes I said all excited.  

"What did you think?"

His answer:

"It was disgusting"

"Oh" I said.

The next day I did not send him a note and that night at dinner he told me off for not putting a note in his lunch box.

So now Mr O and I are taking it in turns to send our boy notes.

To my boy who still wears flowers in his hair and secretly likes love notes.
