only the beginning...
Thought y'all might enjoy glimpsing into the mind of a budding pre-literacy prodigy (ok... the prodigy thing is a stretch...but really, this is just plain cute...)
Nate has recently been disappearing on us (which is unusual as he rarely likes to be left alone). I will suddenly become aware that the house has become unusually quiet and really, very peaceful.
As all parents know, this is the peace that we would all love to bask in, but can't because this is the peace that could be our demise. It's usually the time that my couch is being "decorated" with bright shades of Crayola or dental floss is being strung all around the house (both recent occurances).
Well, lately this "peace" is actually being used constructively. Just as I'm about to investigate what might be happening during one of these quiet moments, I am have been greeted by a sweet note (as shown).
Nate has been writing semi-phonetic sentences. It's neat to see that he has the confidence and the curiousity to give writing a try. I must admit, though, when he hands these notes to me I have to keep a very straight face to not grin at the jumbled stream of letters he's put together... so interesting to see a child's mind at work.
I'll let you know when his first book comes out...
