This blog isn’t supposed to be entirely about my daughter,
however, when something cool/funny happens, you know I’m gonna blog it.
So, apparently, I’ve been so busy over the past couple of weeks that I have either missed out on/over-looked the fact that my kid can write. Sophie has been a fan (and “fan” is an understatement) of the alphabet since before she turned one. She loves the letters. Big/small.

That they make words. The sounds they make.
I bet if humans could marry the alphabet she’d be the tiniest bride.
So, I sat down on the couch with her on Saturday and we broke out the generic Magnadoodle.
So, I sat down on the couch with her on Saturday and we broke out the generic Magnadoodle.
I said, “Sophie, let’s write some words.”
I got an excited reply, “OKAY MAMA!” and off she went.
Who knew? My kid can write.
And she’s 2 ½.
I said, "Can you write my name?" and VOILA!
She said, "H-A-T, Hat. Haha! With a tiny T!"
We spelled this one together, sounding out the letters of the word.
She was most proud of this...spelling her own name.
Although the "S" is wonky, I'd say for a 2 year old, this is AWESOME!
I know that there are some folks out there who probably think that Asher and I are a couple of fruitloops who beat this into her brain. And to those naysayers...I say, um...sorry you feel this way. Let go of your insecurities and buy your kid some alphabet blocks. If they love them, super. If not...oh well. Each kid is different. I never expected Sophie fall madly in love with the alphabet. Can't even explain how it happened really. But, it doesn't matter. If she'd rather watch phonics videos on YouTube than sit in front of a two-hour Barbie movie, so freakin' be it!
Education is key, people.
Get. Out. Of. Town.
