Happy Birthday Blake!!!!!!!

A couple of days ago, Grayson walks into the kitchen with an unusual site.He is holding a piece of sage paper covered with balloons that he just finished drawing.Having held a drawing of his is not the unusual site .The balloons-Yes.He was so excited and I was somewhat surprised because he had never before drawn balloons.In his 5 years he has never drawn a picture of balloons.They weren't just plain Jane balloons either-they had sweet smiley faces on them.I was pleasantly surprised.He left the room with me not thinking much about it.I went about my business......
Grayson came back into the room about 3 minutes later and handed me the same piece of sage paper decorated beautifully with smiling balloons folded with this stamp EXACTLY like this.I said "Grayson!-you can't use stamps as stickers!They cost money!!" He replied "I want to sail it to Blake"-I paused,not understanding for a second-then it donned on me--he wants to mail it to him!! Then I said "OK!" He quickly said "I want to put 'I love you' on it!" "I think that would be wonderful" as I smiled. "How do we put his name and a heart on it?" I affirmed him "I will help you sweetie."--As he ran down the hallway he yelled "I'll get the markers!!!"
Here is Grayson singing Blakes name as he is situating his markers.
The scribble by the heart is his version of a heart-he asked me if it was a heart-I said I would help him out.The one he is coloring is the one I did for him.
After he colored the heart,he said "I want to put his name beside it!" So i did and he wasn't real happy because it wasn't close enough to the heart-
