A Letter

In the fourth grade this year the teacher has asked us to write a letter to the class about what makes our child special. Each week they spotlight a new child in the class to help get to know them a little better. This next week is Alex's turn. One of the things we had to do was write a letter. It could have funny stories, poems or anything we thought the class would like to hear. So, below is the letter that Todd and I (with some help from Todd's Mom) wrote:


To Alex’s Fourth Grade Class,
We want you to know what an awesome kid Alex is. He is a happy person who loves to make others laugh. He is a very caring person. He loves to be silly. He enjoys a good movie and loves to play pretend. He has a great imagination and he enjoys pretending that he is a Super Hero. He loves to make silly faces that make other people smile. He has 3 brothers and one sister. His favorite treat is chocolate. What kind of chocolate, you ask? Anything with chocolate is his favorite! He loves popcorn and pepperoni pizza too.
We want to share a couple of fun poems and a short story that we wrote about Alex.


There once was a boy named Alex,
who loved to explore the Dramatics.
A silly face he’d make
to cover a mistake.
He surely showed some funny antics!
By Kara and Grandma Cantwell

A boy named Alex, one day,
came home from school for to play.
His brothers were mad
His sister was sad
But Alex was a sun shiny ray.
By Grandma Cantwell


In a small town, far away, lived a golden haired boy named Alex. Alex lived with his parents, his three brothers and one little sister in a medium sized house just outside the city. He shared a bedroom, which his Dad and Papa built, with his older brother in the basement of their house. It was a fun room. The walls were painted his favorite color…Green! The green was so green it was as bright as the leaves on the trees in springtime. Alex and his big brother slept on a bunk bed; Alex had the top bunk and his brother had the bottom. At night his big soft kitty cat named Paco would climb onto his bed and snuggle into the warm blankets at Alex’s feet. Sometimes when Alex had a hard time sleeping he would carefully climb down the ladder from his bunk to the floor and tiptoe out to the family room. In the family room he would quietly turn on the TV and watch his favorite shows while curled up in a comfy chair. Sometimes at night when he got really brave, he would sneak up the stairs and find the yummy chocolate chips to have for a snack. Chocolate was his favorite food. If he could eat it for every meal he would; chocolate cereal with chocolate milk for breakfast, chocolate and peanut butter sandwiches with chocolate bars for lunch, and chocolate chip cookie casserole with melted caramel and marsh mellows for supper. Oh what a life that would be, he would dream, and he would go to sleep. By Alex’s Mom

We want you to know how much we love Alex. He is a wonderful, creative, happy, silly, funny and awesome kid! We hope you get to know him and like him just as much as we do!
