daddy’s to-do list
Drew, Ryan, Vicious Beasts December 4th, 2008Before we left on our super cool road trip to Utah (more on that soon!), we had to make sure that everything and everyone was taken care of. Drew was pretty bummed that Oscar had to stay behind and wouldn’t get to experience the euphoria of Grandma’s house. Drew knew that Daddy would be home a couple of nights during the week (work stinks) to keep an eye on things. Even with that reassurance, Drew was still concerned that Oscar’s needs would be forgotten, so he went ahead and made a to-do list for Daddy. With pictures! And exclamation marks!!!
The little man is definitely on the road to literacy. Now if we could just figure out why he writes backwards, and in Spanish?! And do you think Oscar is just slightly spoiled? He’s practically got his own menu!
Drew also drafted this note. I can’t figure out what most of it says, if anyone out there is a pro at 5 year old jibberish, help would be much appreciated! The only part I can read is the fourth line “Feed my guinea pik(!?)” with a few “if,” “cat” and “dad’s” thrown in there. I was amazed that he went on to spell guinea pig almost correctly. He may have copied the letters from Oscar’s bag of food, he is smart like that.
I found it hilarious and completely adorable that he took this task upon himself. And super proud that he is sounding out words and creating his own sentences. Now that we have have to sound out his words to understand them, it gives us a perspective on what it’s like to be Drew learning how to read & write. Tough stuff!
This is so dang cute Amy. I can read everything perfectly. Your boy is so smart!
That is way cute! What a good and smart kid Drew is. I’m sad we missed seeing you guys for Thanksgiving! I hope you guys had a great time. Are you coming back for Christmas?
I think the first line says something about Don’t forget…..
and the last line is Have fun at my house..
Just guessing. It is so cute of you to save this and highlight his early writing. Keep encouraging him! He appears to be the next Einstein! G’ma
I love that!! I never really thought about how hard it is to learn to read and write, till Hayden started. I have a new appreciation for parents and teachers and all others that help in the teaching. But then again, I don’t remember it being hard, so it must be one of those things that just comes and you don’t think much about it. There you have it, my one deep thought for the day. Back to Drew – the note was super cute!
