Reading and Writing

Calfgrit4 made a very cute Halloween card for me. It’s made of orange construction paper, and has various Halloween stickers scattered about the cover. On the back, he drew a spider web, and placed a spider sticker at the center.

Inside he wrote a sweet note. Or so I imagine. He asked Cowgrit how to spell “love,” so she spelled it out with the letters on our refrigerator door. You can see in the picture that he traced the “L”. The other three letters he apparently did freehand.

The rest of the note, we’re not sure about. At the bottom of the note, he signed his name (which I cut from the image, here). He was very proud when he presented it to me, and I cherish it.

When he wasn’t looking at me, I whispered to Cowgrit, “What’s it say?” She didn’t know.

So she handed the open card back to Calfgrit4 and said to him, “Tell Daddy what you wrote in the card.”

“I don’t know,” he said. “I can’t read.”
