This morning, Matthew sat down at the dining room table to write some letters. This, in itself, is amazing because up until this week, he hasn’t had the confidence to try and sound out words on his own. He found a formula that he was comfortable with and stuck with it.
“Daddy u r my best daddy”
“Isaac u r my best Isaac”
“Mommy u r my best mommy”
Isaac pointed out to him that I was his only mommy. But I stopped him.
Actually, Matthew has 3 mommies. Can you tell me about them, Matthew?
You could see a light bulb go on in his head.
Omma? And tummy mommy?
That’s right!
And just like that, he sat down to write a new letter:
Way to keep me in my place.
WOW. xxxx
Love it.
Awww…he is trying to get the details right. As he gets older, the past will continue to be more of a “story” and less of a memory…already showing.
So very sweet.
Love it! And I love it when they start sounding words out and writing them.
