Did anyone else here get notes from their kids when they were little? These notes have been inside the lid of my lunchbox for so long that I don't usually notice them anymore, but today they caught my eye. I miss little surprises like these. I'm glad I kept some of their doodles and projects from their younger days, especially cute notes like these.

Yes, definitely. I also used to write notes and funny comments for her that I put in her lunchbox almost daily - still have a lot of them that came back home from lunch and I'm saving them for her. My goal was to make her smile everyday.

She would write me notes occasionally, most of which were hilarious.

Definitely heart-warming when you're lucky enough to get a note like that from your daughter.

I have one that my son left for me in the lab when he was about 4 YO.

He misspelled "dad" as "ada". When his 6 YO sister pointed it out, he fixed it. It became:

ADA
DADA

Still have it somewhere. Occasionally, that is still my name.

I didn't make the first Moose lottery here in Maine so my two boys made me a permit complete with a moose drawing and rifle along with a nice-sounding permit. Every once in a while I find it in a chest of drawers.

We all fished when they could just walk, big on ice fishing too, and hunted when they hit 10 yo.

.Lots changed when they hit the early high school stage but we still did the ice-fishing and hunting thing

Yep, That happened to me when my daughter gave me this after I bought her first pair of roller skates when she was 6 or so. I have many more:
