Sometime I feel like, as parent, I focus on teaching Caleb what not to do, but fail to focus on telling him that he is valued and loved. So yesterday when I packed him his lunch, I wrote him and note to tell him I love him and gave to a bunch of gummies to share. I am so glad he can read now. He said he was happy and surprised. Today, he responded to my note. This is what he wrote.
Dear Mammy. I love you to! And I lice to play with you!
Love, Caleb
Caleb also drew four stick figures and put initial under each one.
D.M. M.M. C.M. J.M.
Fome: Caleb
To: Mommy
He wrote it by sounding out each word. I guess sometime it's hard to hear all the sounds.
That is the first note Caleb has ever written, and it must be the sweetest note I've ever seen!
