My daughter turned 4 last week… I know, WHERE DOES THE TIME GO!
She is a little sweetie and the day was filled with lots of pink, princesses and a fairy hunt at dusk. She had a wonderful day and felt like a princess, but it wasn’t until the next day that I truly understood how our children mimic us.
As you know I’m a big fan of the Thank You Note, but I have to say I was beaming with pride when my 4 year old got up the day after her birthday and busily put pen to paper. She had written pages of squiggle lines when she came to me and asked for envelopes and stamps. I was amused, so I asked her to read the first letter to me and she began with ‘Dear so and so, thank you for my “birthday present”, it was very sweet of you to think of me on my birthday. I will have fun using my present with my friends. Love Peyton.’ It was so cute I wish I would have recorded it!
I know that sometimes it’s hard to know what to say in a thank you note so here are a few basics to help get you started. A couple of sentences is all you need.
1. You want to say thank you for the actual thoughtfulness
2. Say how it made you feel
3. OR how you plan to use it
Note that you can use this format in note or via a video. A quick personally recorded video message sent via email or a video host such as YouTube can be a huge hit and shared among your friends.
