Earlier this week, the New York Times published an op-ed piece with children's letters to Obama. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the letters, and so with the inauguration less than 48 hours away, I decided to have my children write letters to him too. You can click on the images to view a larger version, or just read the text below each letter.
Nina was practicing her "fancy" lettering where she wrote "Dear Mr. Obama." Then, she dictated the rest to me.
Dear Mr. Obama,
What are you going to do for kids? I hope you live very good togther. I hope it goes on and on and on very good. Maybe your dog can be named Sally or Jingles or Belle. Or you could name it Kaitlyn or Elizabeth.
Sincerely,
Nina
Elise decided to include a picture of the White House with her letter. As you can see, Elise is still very much in the mode of inventive spelling!
Dear Mr. Obama,
Cingagoashins! [Congratulations!] I voted for you. I hope you make good deshigins [decisions]. I am alargik [allergic] to dogs gist [just] like Malia.
Love,
Elise
