A few months back Tyler's first grade class was reading a book called "Mailing May" which was about a little girl who wants to visit her grandmother but the parents can't afford it so the family decides to mail May to her Grandmother in the form of a paper self. So the kids all got to mail a self made self to a relative of their choice!
We chose to send "Tyler" to his Great Aunt Flo in New York! Flo is known for going to many interesting places and doing a lot of fun things so we thought it would be fun to see what her world is like (plus Grammy is there and he would like to visit her too)!
Here is a picture of Tyler with . . . himself!
Flo did a stellar job of this one! Not only did she take pictures of not only herself, but Grammy, family and friends all holding Tyler in different locations but she also had them made into a fantastic little book! It was beautiful! She also sent a couple of magazines, brochures and maps!
Tyler said he had the most stuff of all the kids in his class!
This is a picture of the front cover of the book! There is the creative Aunt Flo to the right and Tyler in front of a flamingo-like bird in a garden area at the Tioga Garden Dome and Floral Center in Owego, New York!
This is one of the pages inside! The woman in the picture is our beloved Grammy by the Susquehanna River also in Owego. So cute to see her holding this little paper Tyler!
There are so many beautiful pictures of family, friends, and local scenery! All I can say is Thank You so much Aunt Flo for putting your time, effort and heart into this. And also how you included other people into holding Tyler, it is so great! You turned a project into a treasure! Will keep it always! XOXOXOXOXO
I am so happy that Tyler enjoyed his trip--we loved having him visit. Great posting laura.
