Cici's First Letter to the Editor.

Yesterday morning Cici had asked to use finger paints at a not-too-practical moment, and I said no. She sat down at the table with her paper and markers, and a few minutes later delivered to me her very first protest letter. It read:

Dad,

Dad Dad
No No
Dad Dad
No No

Ha! She got sent to her room for insolence, of course, but Momlissa and I were both secretly proud of her for expressing herself in writing, and so fast. And while in Time-Out she did produce a follow-up letter equally quickly:

Dad,

I am sorry
So so sorry

Cute kid.
