handwriting today

Today for Handwriting, I asked Samuel to write a story. I gave him a cute little sheet of writing paper with a big truck on it. I told him to write about anything he wanted to write about. This was his story just as he wrote it...spelling and all :)

My Momy and Dady are goeing to Texas.
I am not goeing to crie.
I am goeing to stay wis my aunt.
We are goeing to hav so much fun.
I am goeing to get my new DS gam.
The End


I almost cried when I read this. A little background for ya....Samuel does not spend the night away from home... EVER!!! The only times he has had to in the past year is when Dave and were in Hawaii and when we took another short trip.....and when I was in the hospital. He just wants to be at home. So, a couple of weeks ago he and I took a walk on a Friday afternoon. I got a chance to talk with him about his Daddy and how important it is for him to go to this hospital. It was like after that that he was OK with whatever we needed him to do. Amazing. So for him to actually be somewhat excited about staying somewhere other than home, and somewhere Dave and I aren't going to be is pretty great!

Tomorrow we will work on that spelling :)

Oh my goodness, that is so sweet Lisa! I am so proud of him. Spelling doesn't matter on this one. I hope he does well while y'all are gone!!

I know how he feels! I don't care to spend the night away from home much either! I am glad that his is handling it so well. He is certainly growing up!

I will be at Donoho on Friday. I hope to see you if you can all be there. Especially Abby, not that I am ever partial!!!!

Love you all!!!

What a great momma you are! I love it when our children surprise us with their maturity. I love that story, it is a keeper for sure.

Jessica said...

that is just precious! You must frame that!
What a sweet child you and Dave have (all 3 of them are!)
Thanking God for being with Samuel and preparing his little heart.
Still praying for you and your family!
