Snapshot: Love notes

can you tell we're having trouble remembering to bring our water bottle home every night?

I started putting a sticky note in Alex's lunch every day in hopes of making him smile if his day was stressful. They're just based on the books we read every day and the things he likes.
I'm no artist, but the 5 minutes it takes after I put him in bed has been worth it. He can't tell me anything he does in school for the day, but he can tell me exactly what was written on the note.

School is going well. It makes for exhausting week nights and hours long naps on Saturdays, but he seems happy. Is he learning? Questionable.

Me: So what do you guys do when you get to class from the cafeteria in the morning?
Alex: I don't know. My teacher doesn't speak English until after lunch.


I think it's going well.
