i am thankful for...

i know, i know...thanksgiving was last week. but, that doesn't mean you are only supposed to be thankful one day of the year.

today, i am sharing with you all the essay my son wrote in class last week. {i'm typing it "as is" including aidan's flagrant use of commas and misspelled words.}

I'm thankful for...

I'm thankful for my family, because my dad always helps me fix my bike when the chain brakes.  My sister helps me when I get hert she also plays with me.  I'm thankful for my mom, because she helps me when I'm hert also my mom also helps me with my homework.  I'm thankful for my two crazy dogs Frisco and Buxton, because they help me stay active.  Mom and dad thank you for my close and sheleter because without it I would not have a place to live and something to keep me warm.  Thank you sis because I would be lonly and not have someone to play with.

surely your heart melted. maybe not nearly as much as my heart did, but come on. there is something magical about children's writing, especially when it comes from the heart.
