"Mommy, what does that say?"
"It says, 'I am going to the park.' Did you write that, Dylan?"
"Yes."
"Who helped you write it?"
"No one. I wrote that in my journal this morning. I sounded it out."
It wasn't until after Andrea brought me a piece of paper and was waiting for a big hug that I realized how excited my response was to Dylan. I gave him a big hug, and was beaming from ear to ear.
I'm almost certain that he did in fact write it this morning. It was accompanied by a picture of a stick figure that was standing in grass with what might be a bench nearby. There is a blue line for the sky and both yellow and black suns. Perhaps I'll get around to scanning this page to share. The picture and writing were done with markers that we have at home, in his journal from school from last week. There was one blank page at the back, because they did not have school on Monday the 13th.
I think that I was about as excited with this as I was with his first steps. A proud moment as my little boy grows up.
