Rachel has just started in the last month or so to write letters. It is so fun when they get to the age where they are comfortable sounding out words and writing them down for you to read. She wrote two letters last weekend that just made us laugh.
Let me give you some back drop for this first one. Allison and Rachel have their own rooms, but they started a few months ago asking to sleep together on the weekends. Rachel is an early morning girl and Allison is not! Allison likes to sleep in whenever possible and Rachel on the other hand likes to get up with the sun and likes company. So when she slept with Allison she would wake her up when she woke up or she would just sit in the bed and play knowing that if she did it long enough Allison would eventually wake up. Well this only lasted a few nights before Allison was done and told Rachel she could not sleep with her anymore. So this was the case for the last few months. Well last weekend Rachel convinced us and Allison that she would not wake Allison up in the morning if she could sleep with her. So we are getting the kids ready for bed and Rachel says "wait a minute I need to go write myself a note". The next thing I know she comes up to me with the note below and says "Mom, I wrote myself a note so I would remember to not wake Allison up in the morning. Mom make sure you put it on my robe and slippers on the end of the bed, so when I wake up I can read it and remember". So I read the note and almost lost it from laughing so hard.
In case you don't quite get Kindergarten writing it says: "Rachel do not forget to not wake Allison up in the morning".
The next day she comes up and hands me this note for the Easter Bunny.
"Dear Easter Bunny thank you for the candy and I am not so good at finding eggs"
These notes are treasures to me and will be kept for years to come!
