Reading, writing, signs & notes...

Lately Makenzie has been a writing/reading fanatic!  

It's crazy to think that not too long ago she wasn't able to sound out words now that's all she does!  

Since I work in a library I'm always on the hunt for some good easy readers!  

I love to bring new books home and listen to her actually read them!  

She always so proud of herself when she sounds out the whole book without help!

And I have learned to be patient.
In the beginning I would tell Makenzie the word as she was sounding it out and she would get so mad at me.  but I am better now and she doesn't get mad at me as much! :)  

Makenzie has been on a sign/note writing kick....

Right now our home is covered in signs.

I love it.  

Here are some of Kenzie's signs/notes that she has made....

"I am sorry I am so grumpy" 

The grumpy has been smudged a bit.  

Makenzie wrote this one one morning after she got up on the wrong side of the bed! :)

 One of my favorites....

It's actually not a sign but oh so cute.

The other night she made Jeff upset....so she drew a picture of herself and daddy holding hands with a heart in the middle!  Melt. My. Heart!

She then gave it to Jeff to say she was sorry!

 She has learned that I can not say no to a cute little note...

"Please one more movie"

"please play with me"

Come on, how can I say no to that?!? :)

 The other day Josie pinched her fingers in a door...so Makenzie got to work making signs to hang near each door! 

If only Josie could read! :)

 This is the one Makenzie is the most proud of...

A few days ago she asked me how to spell minion (from Despicable Me) I told her I didn't know.  

So she sounded it out and came up with this...

I of course told her she was right.  

If it were a real word then I would have corrected her but minion?!? :)

She was so happy she asked if she could text daddy "mainyan".

Daddy was at work and pretty confused when he received the text! :)
