My oldest is four, and he is just starting to dabble in drawing letters. I'm looking forward to getting some notes like that in the next couple of years. R. That is a great story.

I love that despite the spelling errors she skillfully conveyed her emotion by repeating the "a" in "spam" and the "o" in "off." I'd be surprised if anyone taught her to do that; she probably just did it because that's how she'd be saying it. My four-year old is on a rhyming kick. She'll sit at the table--not eating her food!--trying to think up nonsense words that rhyme. She laughs at herself all the time, as if she derives pleasure from the sound of words. I envy that.
