My parents (Eli's Mim and Pop) have decided to start a very special tradition for Eli. Since we're in Maryland and they are in Pennsylvania and they can't see Eli as often as they'd like (everyday!), they came up with this tradition. Every month until Eli starts school, they are going to send him a book (or hand deliver it). Every time Mommy or Daddy reads these books to Eli, we'll read their personalized message to him and tell him that the book is a special gift from his grandparents. As he gets older and can understand this tradition, Mim and Pop will start sending the books in the mail, because all kids love getting packages in the mail! Each month he'll look forward to his package arriving with his little treat inside. And each time we read them, he'll be reminded how much his Mim and Pop love him. Thanks Mom and Dad for such a great and generous idea. We can't wait to fill the shelves of Eli's bookcase with these treasures.
