Dear Poppy,

I left a surprise in your red toy.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

PEANUT BUTTER!!!!!!! It’s peanut butter! I LOVE peanut butter!!!!!!!

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

I know you do. That should keep you busy for a while.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

My tongue can barely reach it all!

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

That’s the idea. That’s why I say it will keep you busy for a while.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

Done.

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

You’ve cleaned it out already? That was fast. So much for keeping you busy.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

That’s okay! I’ve still got my digging hole outside in the garden. And I need to check the kitchen floor periodically for anything edible that might have dropped.

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

And you need to check the deck for squirrels.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

And let you know when someone walks by the house with a dog.

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

And don’t forget your nap.

Love, Carolyn

 

Dear Mommy,

We almost forgot! The daily walk!

XOXO Poppy

 

Dear Poppy,

That’s not just a leisure time activity, it’s your job, and it’s an important one. I definitely need someone to take me for a walk every day.

Love, Carolyn
