February 3

Today, Brady drew a picture for Isaac and wanted to write a little story to go along with it. So I helped him spell the words and he wrote it all down, all by himself.

Logan was about his age when he decided he wanted to write out words, and I spent hours with him spelling out full sentences and watching as he created one perfect letter after another.

Seeing Brady follow suit five years later is a bittersweet thing --after all, how is my baby already five?-- but it's always a gift to re-live pleasant memories, so I'll take those moments with a hearty dose of gratitude.
