Dot's Got Mail

Well Scarlett received a WONDERFUL surprise yesterday, her first package in the mail! Cousins Reegan and Fletcher sent Scarlett a gift in the mail that was completely unexpected.

It was a real nailbiter for Scarlett, she couldn't wait to open her package!

And what an awesome gift it was! A pretty new tshirt and a VERY special book, The Dot.

 As many of you know, and for those of you who don't, before we knew that Scarlett was a girl we called her Dot. It was Grandma Celia who came up with the adorable nickname when she saw Scarlett's very first ultrasound, where indeed she was a tiny little Dot ;)

Scarlett's first Ultrasound, back when she was "Dot Stevens"

Anyway I just love this book by Peter H. Reynolds! On his website http://www.peterhreynolds.com/dot/ it says that The Dot is, "for anyone who has been afraid to express themselves - from a child in art class to an adult whose fear has shut down a long-held dream, Peter H. Reynolds' book The Dot (Candlewick Press) is there to remind us all to "Make your mark, and see where it takes you."

What a wonderful message for us all!

Thanks again to cousins Reegan and Fletcher for the very thoughful gift! XO!
