Hate Mail
Sophie Gene's been writing her name and most of the letters of the alphabet for a long time. Just recently, since she's started learning how to read, has she been arranging the letters into actual words. Lots of times the words are nonsensical. Since she's only learned the short vowels sounds, I take comfort in the fact that (to her mind) this little note that she wrote says, "Mom Day." Of course she delivered this with a sweet, innocent smile on her face. When I told her what she'd written she laughed in disbelief! (Another good sign.)
