So i decided to make him a little book of encouraging notes to get him through the day. there were about 8-9 notes in the book. the first page even has a little 'capsule' note, that you can open and it had a note inside, my personal favorite ;) anyway, i've always been fascinated with the book, "the jolly postman" by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. did anyone ever read this when they were younger? If you didn't read it, buy it now! It is simply delightful. if you have kids, get it for them immediately! They will love it. and love you for it! So this is my book of notes for nicholas. it was so much fun to make. and i think he really enjoyed it. he said it helped him get through the day.
