Rather suddenly of late, Isaac has decided that he's interested in figuring out how to spell words. He's drawn pictures and picture books before, but today, he wrote his first one.

I know it's kind of hard to tell because he did the whole thing on his own by sounding out the words, but it's called "How to Love Lions" and it features different ways that we can "lov liins."

Although it took me a while to make out some of the words, as both a mom and a writer, my heart swelled with pride when I saw it. Milestones like these are just so precious and so blessed, and I hope to always be mindful of their importance.
