letters from caroline...

This post has been a long time coming.


Because for the last few months, my child (only 4, you understand) has been writing letters and messages almost non-stop.  Can we just say OBSESSED?  She's going nuts with writing and typing, and as a result, Marc and I are blown away with what she's able to spell and write on her own without help at this point.  (and we still have an entire year before kindergarten..)  I'm starting to see something with language skills or communication in her future career path...


It started out quite simple this summer-- "That is funny Mommy."  "That looks good Daddy."


Next she wanted to write letters to people.  Before our beach trip with her cousins, she wrote them this one:

"Dear Trevor and Tyson, I want to build a sandcastle with you.  Love, Caroline"


But now it's all about wanting to type out messages!  We have to limit her "screen" time because if we didn't, this girl would sit and type words and messages ALL day!

So I thought some of you might get a kick out of reading a few emails she sent this month to her best bud, Leah.  (Usually I let her type them out by herself while I walk on the treadmill, and it's amusing to when I'm done to see what thoughts have come out of her head and onto the screen!

Here goes...
