Olivia's Note

I picked the girls up from school Thursday and Olivia proceeds to tell me that her friend Austin is moving and will be going to a different school. So she needed to write him a note. I told her that we could do it that evening after her homework and chores were completed.

So after dinner we sat on the couch together and she got her notebook and pen. She asked if I could help her spell and I told her that she does a fine job on her own and if she really got stuck I would help her. So she proceeded to write her letter. The cute thing is because she doesn't know how to spell everything she was talking and sounding out the words as she was writing. Below are her writing skills.

Now for the letter.....

Even though it fringes on Olivia's privacy, I had to make a copy of it to put in her binder. I keep a folder for each of the girls of special things throughout their years. Something I plan to give to them when they get older. Anyways, if you are wondering what the lette says, I'll translate.

Austin, I will miss you so much. You were my best friend but even that Ann was my friend. Then she drew a heart but wrote whoops sorry in it. Than it says wait, good job! Signed Olivia. Then below that she writes a house was on fire. To the left of that it says whoops it's not.

She is a funny little girl and she makes me smile. She gave her letter to Austin Friday along with a big hug.
