This week has seen what I think is a big milestone for my 4 year old. He has suddenly started writing little notes. We haven’t asked him to write anything, I just keep finding him sat at the table scribbling down messages.
To his friends
To his Dad ( this one is unfinished as he ran out of room, but it was going to say ‘something to keep you safe on your bike’ – a bike light )
To me when he was cross with me for not being able to play a game as I was holding a poorly Baby H. This one was folded up and I was crossly told I should read it.
To me when I was forgiven.
My little boy is getting big.

I did snigger at the “I do not love you”
Very impressed with the writing though

Really clever. I am very impressed!

Awwww how sweet. Bless him (even the one where he says he doesn’t love you). Seems strange to me that a 4-year-old can write, as in Scotland (where I am) kids don’t start school 5. My son is almost 6 and is just starting to write like this.
We used to try to teach him to write when he was in nursery, but he showed no interest.
Can’t say he’s written me any notes though – mostly lists of toys he wants for his birthday!

Wow, fantastic writing for a 4 year old!

what lovely writing, my 4 year old does try to write but isnt really that great he tends to get the letters ok but his spelling is rather off!

He’s doing really well. Can’t believe he wrote he doesn’t love you! They grow up so fast.

Those are so lovely, you will treasure them forever! My son was never a writer or a reader sadly. I have one note he wrote and it says “there are no more Daniels left” and I have no idea what he meant but it seemed really tragic and sad!

awww that does seem sad. xx

That’s very clever of him! He’s certainly caught the writing bug, and I’m very impressed with his spelling. He’s obviously completely caught up in everything he’s learning and is excelling. Keep at it.
Actually Mummy...
I love love love their notes! Must get back to posting more of those 🙂

Aw bless – I can’t wait until MC is old enough to write notes. Love the ‘I do not love you one’ – hilarious x
Emma @ Mummy Musings
Aww, they are so sweet! I can’t wait til C is old enough to write notes!
HELEN
I had a sharp intake of breath at the note to you! It’s great when they start doing this – every time I have a clear out I come across notes like this..believe me it will be great to show him in 5 or 6 years time!
He’s a very clever boy!

Those are adorable! The ‘I don’t love you’ one made me smile as it was followed up with such a sweet apology. Can’t wait for my little boy to start writing.

Aw, so sweet! He’s writing very well, I hate getting those ‘I don’t love you Mummy’ notes posted under doors but the sorrys make up for it! Thank you so much for linking up this week! x
