“I AM SPELING” or trying to anyway!

I have been amazed at McCanless’ progress with 4K this year! Currently, she is writing all over the house. I love finding her notes and scribbles on the chalk board pantry door, her art table, mail, papers, etc. Mel and I have even made it a game of deciphering her words. We also love hearing her sound out words on restaurant and street signs. (MUK-DAA-NA-LLLLL-DD-S was my all time favorite!)

Last week, a friend of mine,who is expecting a baby, came by to visit. McCanless gave her an original McCanless drawing with “BABE” written on it, and heart McCanless, of course. (She sounded out baby, and loves to sign her notes and drawings with a heart and her name.)

A few other McCanless spellings…

HAPE ESTR Happy Easter

MISHURE I heart U Ms. Chure, I heart you.

I heart MI BABE SISTR I heart my baby sister.

Another favorite McCanless spelling is the way in which she writes the year. She has been doing this for a while and I don’t have the heart to correct her. Current year according to LMP: 200in9.

This will come in handy when she starts texting all her cell phone chums. Good for her. She may also start a new computer language. John
