(Just) Two Teachers’ Day Cards (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There were two Teachers’ Day cards sitting in the study last week. My 8 year old son had made them entirely by himself.It took him a hot Saturday afternoon, and you can see the effort in each of them (adding cutouts multiple times and having to start over when he made a mistake), little notes stapled on painstakingly, as only an 8 year old can think of.

It’s a lot easier for him to locate his books, his old set of shelves used to have two rows of books as I tried to maximise its space, and the books behind were languishing.Foolittle also has some books on the lower two shelves, but honestly we are perpetually running out of space for books.
