Focus....Learning to Read & Write

Such focus as he learns to write the words.


"Brave spelling" they call it.
I love that the word brave is involved.
It makes me feel like he's a little superhero, boldly embarking upon the glory of words.

And here's what he wrote:

Translation for those of you who can't quite make it out: "When I grow up I am going to be a rabbi. I will tutor with kids. I will work at Am Shalom."

It's a pretty neat feeling when your kids want to follow your footsteps. He's only 6, so who knows!

See more focus here...(and congrats, Stacy, on your new home...even though it wasn't exactly how you planned to get there!)

    I love the process of kids learning to read and write. My little guy just started second grade this year. Last year was such fun to watch as he started writing more enthusiastically !

    Great photo too, by the way !

    Mmmmm...I know how wonderful it feels...

    Of course, when home sick on Tuesday with PC, Beernut pleaded with me to stay with him because -- AND I QUOTE -- "Daddy has such an important job. And anyway, it's not Shabbos!"

    Training to be a Board Member, I suppose!!

    LOL

    And I love how they call it brave too :)

    Amazing! I am so proud of you and your family - you must make the "rabbinic family" work so well. I will have to talk to you about that one of these days. What a beautiful moment to catch on film :)
