Mallory got some mail today – and as I slowly read it to her, she said the words that are outlined in red. She got “the” and “and” right away and then she totally sounded out “flower” and “great”. I WAS DYING! At first I thought maybe she guessed “the” by how the words were flowing, and maybe she guessed “and” too. But when she started to sound out flower and great – I really was so proud. She has some early reader Fancy Nancy books that we’ll have to find so she start reading for reals. GO MAL!
This note was from Miss Header (obviously) and was because Mallory colored and mailed some pictures to her last week.
I should mention that Mallory giggled when she saw how Miss Header made Mallory’s hair.
I should also mention that I got a note in the mail from Miss Header too but it wasn’t gushy enough to share on this blog.
I can’t believe there are still people old enough to remember mailing paper messages!
Two things:1. I’m honored that my artwork made it to the big time (the internet). 2. I’m even more honored that knowing when you turn this into a book, it’ll be in there. I’m hoping Mallory and Carson feel as much love every time they look at this as I did when I received my pictures.
Maybe if you email me the football schedule again (which is now my background) I will send you a nicer note.
