Mom, please...

It was a sad, sad day when Eli asked that I please not put notes in his lunch any more.  I could tell he was a bit hesitant and uncomfortable even asking me.  Yes, the boy is too old and too cool to have notes from Mom packed in his lunch telling him how much she loved him and to have a wonderful day with lots of smiley faces and hearts drawn all over the paper.  Third Grade and already too cool for lunchbox notes.  Be still my heart...
