Dear Rachel,

How are you? I am fine, but I have to say that I am a little bit sad. I got a message from your Mommy that your beautiful heart sucker- the one that she brought for you ALL THE WAY from Holland- fell on the floor and broke into a hundred pieces. Oh no! I heard that you were very sad when your heart sucker broke. It makes me sad to think that you were sad. But let’s stop being sad, ok?

I have some GOOD NEWS! I went out yesterday and bought you ANOTHER HEART SUCKER! It is pink and white and swirly just like the first one! Here is a picture of it:

Here it is!

A package will arrive at your house with the NEW HEART SUCKER inside. But you will have to be PATIENT. I have to send it to you in the mail. You will probably have to wake up about TEN TIMES before it comes. And that’s a LOT of wake ups. But you are a big girl and I know that you can wait. And there’s a secret I want to tell you that ALL big girls know: waiting makes things sweeter!
