Thank You Cards

The kid's birthdays have come and gone without even a mention of it here on the blog. I do have pictures of the events and maybe I will get around to writing up a little something, eventually.

After Priya's party, I asked her to sit down and write "Thank You" cards for the gifts she received. I just gave her some blank cards and let her go to town. Afterwards, when I had to address them I was impressed with her creativity and thoughtfulness, so I thought I should record it here. I especially like her honesty about the coloring book in the first card. Also, in the second one, she has learned to use the dash for continuation of a word at the end of a line, but I see she hasn't figured out that it should be used between syllables.

In stark contrast to Priya's eloquent cards, Sanjay's contained gross overuse of the word "awesome". He dictated and I transcribed the following Thank You's for his friends:

• The moon sand is awesome, and I can't wait to play with it.
• It was so cool because if you pull this thing off, the "prellers" on the plane spin.
• I love the car wash; it was so great. I even used it a couple of times already.
• It was so awesome because one time me and Priya played the Horseshoe game.
• It was awesome the Bakugan. One time we put together the Bakugan and when it was together it was awesome.
