I love my lists. They make me feel organized and productive. I love the feeling of “checking” off my items and moving to the next. In fact when we leave for places we go through verbal checklists in the car where I ask if they have certain items and they yell “check” if they do. 🙂 Coat? Check! Mittens? Check! Both kids? Check!
Well, I guess all my list writing has rubbed off on Chloe. And now that she’s starting to read more she’s branching out and writing more stuff on her own too. Of course, the hard part is that she doesn’t know how to spell much and keeps leaving out vowels in her words… It usually takes me a minute to process what she meant. Anyway, the other night Jen came over to watch the kids for us so we could go on a date. Chloe made a list of stuff for them to do while she was there. It was so funny and cute: (it’s meant to be completed bottom to top)
Can you tell what it says?
I adore this because I have similar writing going on in my house. From top to bottom:
Go to bed
Maybe watch a show
Get jammies on
Eat supper
Make Jennifer a present
?
Love Jennifer
Play again
Rest
Play
______
Busy, busy girl!
List ARE good!
Amy is better than me. I’m out of practice, I guess. I did get some of them and felt pretty good about getting “maybe watch a show.” Actually, since we pick up so much spelling by reading, she is doing quite well for just starting to read. I’m sure most of those words she hasn’t seen in a book, yet.
Amy, the one you couldn’t tell was “Play Ball” 🙂 Nice job!
