On Saturday morning the postman brought me a lovely surprise.
It was a letter from my darling daughter, which she'd sent to me on Friday when her class took a walk to the local postbox. It's a pretty cute letter and Flea was hopping up and down as I read it:
I love how my daughter feels able to express her complete love for me with no agenda, no expectation.
"Flea this is absolutely lovely, thankyou," I said.
"I did my neatest writing," my little girl replied. "Did you see the picture? I drew it."
"I did. It's brilliant. There's the postbox, and is that you?"
"Yes it is!"
"And what's this in the corner?"
"Oh, that's the dog you're going to buy me when I'm six, Mummy. Did you see how many kisses I put?"
Nice try.
LOL I remember trying similar tactics with my Mum only it was a horse I was after hehe! Bless her! Thats so sweet!
Haha, clever girl!
Your doomed!
LOL aww so cute and you’ve gotta love a girl for trying. x
Aaawww sneaky hehe. Cute letter
lol she’s a clever one & very cute!!!
You totally owe her a dog now.
That’s so adorable, and too clever by half!
Awww, bless. Imagine the letter she will send if she doesn’t get her dog.
Right I think I’ve got this, cuteness plus kisses equals dog. Shh don’t tell my daughter!
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, that girl is a genius.
You stand no chance. Surrender now.
Very cute!!! I said no pets till the last kidlet is out of diapers… but I think I should have said finished with college just to be on the safe side!!!
Aw I bet you welled up. That is so touching & def something to put in the scrap book x I bet you are one very proud mummy.
She’s going for the wear you down strategy – hold your metal – it’s a marathon. Fabulous letter, one for the memory box. Cx
Genius! My bro-in-law (aged about five) wanted a mouse. Similar tactics were used. My parents-in-law relented and went one better. They got a dog.
His comment, at breakfast on his birthday: “I suppose you couldn’t get a mouse”.
Haha she is a wee corker!

Oh Flea, I do love you
How cute is that!
Brilliant you can’t say she hasn’t had a go at trying! xx
