the writer

After the birth of Rebecca, we pretty much let Ruth take a break from the semi-structured reading we were beginning to do with her. However, in light of her recent interest in not only reading, but writing her alphabet, we began showing Ruth the various strokes of letter making.

This afternoon she, completely on her own, surprised us with her first self-written word!

Immediately following our praise, she began asking us how to spell various other family and friend names, so she could try her new-found skill! Watch your mailbox for a note from Ruth!
