Over the past couple of weeks I’ve noticed that Franny’s confidence in her writing has really taken off.  First, I found a note she wrote to herself to remember to bring her library book back to school on library day.  Then there were long lists of rhyming words, a get-well note to Cole, and random lists of things like an inventory of her stuffed animals.  She also has started writing little poems—one about bunnies eating carrots and another about our upcoming weekend in Sunriver.  This weekend, she wrote very sweet little notes to all of us:

Dear Dad.  You  make me happy.

Dear Mom. You are making me happy.

Dear Cole.  You are funny.

Dear Delaney.  You make me laugh.

These notes just make me think about the fact that I think all these things about Franny, too!  She is no less than wonderful!
