This afternoon (after a busy time playing outside with Parrish) Lex decided to make five pictures for Alan and write “From Lex To Dad” on each of them. On one of the pictures he wrote “From Lex To ALI.” When Alan asked what he was writing he said:
Lex: “I’m writing To Alan”
Alan: “My name doesn’t have an I in it.”
Lex: “Yes it does. It has the “ih” sound!”
I love how he sounds words out. It’s important for him to spell correctly (especially his dad’s name!) but I always hate correcting him. He abandoned that picture and started over with a new picture and went back to writing “From Lex To Dad” Alan ended up with five pictures from Lex anyway. That’s pretty cool! :)
A picture for Alan
I guess he did do one with Alan’s name :) See Alan’s comment for details. I LOVE that he is interested in writing. Yay Lex!
I got one with my name spelled correctly in the end. I was going on about how much I loved pie because one of them looked like a piece of pie early on, but he refused to allow that it was a piece of pie. So the last one he made me was a black berry pie cut into strips with this written at the top:
FROMLE
X TOALAN

He’s soooo freakin’ cool!! What fun it is to watch them both grow and develop.
