They're writers!

 My little men are already writers!  I've talked to them about writing...told them about the JohnstonChronicles, of which the three of them - Benjamin, Emerson, & Thalia - are an important topic!  I told them I thought it was important to write things down...you think you'll remember, but you won't...at least not all the details.  So, my little men are taking the advice of their Mimi and they're writing! 
 Emerson very carefully was practicing his o's... he wanted me to 'Write ABC's, Mimi!'  and he would say the letter as I wrote it.  Notice the hand he's using to write?
I love this... love these two little men up on the stools at their Mimi and Papa's...writing their ABC's and drawing pictures to adorn my refrigerator!

 Emerson was nibbling on some Cheerios as he contemplated what to write next...
 Benjamin decided he was about finished for the day, so like a good writer, was putting the lid back on the pen...
 Emerson was pointing out the letters to his Mimi...
Oops..Benjamin decided to add a little more to his masterpiece...
 When my little men were finished, Benjamin noticed his Mama on the computer...so he wanted to join in...He noticed she was writing too...
He informed me they were talking to his daddy in Romania...

My little men...they'll be in kindergarten before I know it!

Cute pics! And all too soon they'll be writing words and letters to Mimi.

I hope so! I have all my 'letters' from Benjamin in my journal to him!
