So, so, so many things I love about this little letter. His handwriting, his eraser marks {as he is always trying to make it perfect, after all}, his spelling, especially his spelling of 'things' and 'making', his blame on his younger brother, how dark his letters are because he presses so hard when he writes because he's concentrating so hard, the fact that he had to use a clipboard, the occasional usage of a random uppercase letter, and the list goes on!
We were going a little stir crazy after church and before dinner today and the boy needed something to do. I thought he could try writing his letter to Santa and I must say I was surprised at how well he put it together. He has been reading pretty well since he started school in September, but I haven't ever had him try to write words on his own as he sounds them out. He asked for a little help, but not much. It was the perfect Sunday afternoon activity, although we're cutting it a little close to Christmas. I hope it has time to make it to the North Pole before Friday. :)
I sure hope Santa takes things into consideration and takes it easy on the boy whose little brother is making him be bad. Because I can tell you, he really really is always trying to be good. I ♥ this kid! :)
