A couple of days ago, Harper sat down to write Cinderella. Folks, Cinderella has replaced the dinosaurs. All the dinosaurs that ever were are no match for Cinderella.
Anyway, she sat down to write a letter to the old maiden then realized she can’t write. So she asked Hadley for help. “You write the letter and I’ll decorate it.”
Hadley thought this was an OK plan and obliged.
“Dear Cinderella,” Harper began, “I love you very much. We watch you on TV.” And then, “You and I are both very beautiful.”
Hadley refused to write that sentence, so Harper came up with something else.
“God watches over you.”
Because, if you can’t talk about how beautiful you are, talk about God.
After Hadley wrote to Cinderella for Harper, she decided to write Aurora. Who is Aurora? I don’t remember her growing up. I remember Cinderella, and Snow White, but who’s Aurora? Is she one of Scarlet O’Hara’s friends?
Turns out, Hadley needed helped spelling Aurora’s name. Lucky for us, we have a book with ALL the princesses so Hadley looked her up in that glittery encyclopedia. Aurura’s name was written in cursive and this was difficult for Hadley to read so she asked Harper for help.
“Hadley, I can’t read that because it’s written in beautiful.”
I might BE beautiful, dear eldest sister, but I don’t read it.
Here’s Hadley’s letter:
My favorite part of this letter is the bottom three stickers and Hadley’s words, “Here are some of your friends.”
The letters are in envelopes, sealed, and ready to be sent.
“Where do the princesses live?” Harper asks.
“Disney World,” Hadley tells her.
So I guess when I graduate I know where I’ll be going.
I love it! Come to me so I can help you plan!!!!
I will for sure, Mindy! I actually thought of you when I wrote this post!
That is so great! They crack me up! Maybe if Harper would have said “You and Hadley and I are so beautiful.” Hadley would have written it. Poor dinosaurs, I feel bad for them. They can come live with Joshua. No princesses here. 🙂
Hadley would’ve definitely written it if Harper had included her in on the beauty.
When you guys come to visit, I’ll have all the dinosaurs ready for Joshua. We have A LOT!
reading in beautiful. i love that. too bad kids aren’t learning to write in beautiful these days… i’m glad that harper’s finally come around to the princess side. just another reason that our girls need to be friends. next weekend: naomi’s ariel birthday party. you guys are more than welcome to come!
It is too bad kids aren’t learning to write in beautiful. I blame those damn ipads. People’s handwriting is going down the toilet thanks to those. Now let me just write another blog post real quick….
These notes are precious. I love the line, “God watches over you.” A little bit of the unexpected tossed into a conversation about princesses.
