Drawing and writing

Hannah has recently discovered the joy of writing. She loves to write notes, stories, and letters. Usually she'll have me tell her how to spell things for her letters, which is good, because she's recently been introduced to the idea of "sounding things out," and loves it. She's not very accurate, however, and often leaves out spaces, vowels, and other pesky details, so the end result can be a bit hard to read. CRSMSDA = Christmas Day, and so on. It's very endearing, even if difficult to decipher, so I thought I'd share some with you:


This one reads: "Grace: Another little Fairy." Hannah was organizing a play and handing out parts. Grace was another little fairy, so this was her paper.


This one is a family portrait. Hannah doesn't often write from right to left any more, but I thought this was darling. The one on the far left is the new baby, which I think is what she wrote below, but what with it being backwards and phonetically written by a 4-year-old, I can't promise that's exactly what it says. I do love how she's given each of us the appropriate amount of hair.

I know I'm going to miss these days when she's writing beautifully in script and correcting everyone else's spelling!
