Letter to Dragon: Tx u For Yuer Splng

Dearest Dragon,

Your lovely teacher quickly realized (though she never called me out on it directly) that I had been coddling you with spelling words when we were homeschooling. I would spell out the words you wanted to write. I took away your ability to try - by spoon feeding you the correct spelling.

Mrs P., very quickly nipped that in the bud (glorious woman). Over the course of a month or so she weaned you away from such hand holding and you are now forging ahead with writing regardless of accuracy. (Hooray Mrs P!)

Now I get to decipher the papers you bring home.

And I absolutely love it.

Oh Dragon, it is so much fun to watch you struggle and push and forge through regardless. To TRY.

And yes, the English language has insane spelling.

You are doing great.
