Both times he decided he wanted to write something, so last week he grabbed a marker and wrote. He asked me, “Mom, what is C O O L?” I said, “cool” and he showed me his writing. I was so thrilled I kept the napkin he wrote it on. It is now on the fridge.
Today, just before bath time he asked his Dad for a marker. “I want to write, Dad,” he said.
He sat beside me (who was frantically trying to patch my WoW game to 3.3) and said, “How do I spell CAT?” I said C A T. And he wrote it. Then his Dad called him for his bath. He said “Hang on,” and told me he had a surprise for me.
He asked, “How do you spell your name?” I spelled it out for him. “Wow, that’s a long name,” he commented. “That’s why I gave you and Jade short names,” I replied.
So on an envelope, he wrote C H R i S T i N A. “Don’t look at it, Mom!” he hollered, as he ran for his bath. “It’s a surprise!”

Thanks Aunty Shen!
I sent the care pack to your brother today. The train for Gavin, the elephant for Gareth, and the California Baby bath set for the boys. The other 2 presents are for you.

Thanks dear… It was lovely. Gavin adored the train puzzle. Kept him very busy while I nursed Gareth.
Thanks for the bears, too.
I really need those glass IKEA cabinets for my bear collection!!!
