Notes from a 4 year old

February 19, 2012 by admin 16 Comments

This week has seen what I think is a big milestone for my 4 year old. He has suddenly started writing little notes. We haven’t asked him to write anything, I just keep finding him sat at the table scribbling down messages.

To his friends

To his Dad ( this one is unfinished as he ran out of room, but it was going to say ‘something to keep you safe on your bike’  – a bike light )

To me when he was cross with me for not being able to play a game as I was holding a poorly Baby H. This one was folded up and I was crossly told I should read it. 

To me when I was forgiven. 

My little boy is getting big.

    Awwww how sweet. Bless him (even the one where he says he doesn’t love you). Seems strange to me that a 4-year-old can write, as in Scotland (where I am) kids don’t start school 5. My son is almost 6 and is just starting to write like this.
    We used to try to teach him to write when he was in nursery, but he showed no interest.
    Can’t say he’s written me any notes though – mostly lists of toys he wants for his birthday!

    He’s doing really well. Can’t believe he wrote he doesn’t love you! They grow up so fast.

    Those are so lovely, you will treasure them forever! My son was never a writer or a reader sadly. I have one note he wrote and it says “there are no more Daniels left” and I have no idea what he meant but it seemed really tragic and sad!

    That’s very clever of him! He’s certainly caught the writing bug, and I’m very impressed with his spelling. He’s obviously completely caught up in everything he’s learning and is excelling. Keep at it.

    I had a sharp intake of breath at the note to you! It’s great when they start doing this – every time I have a clear out I come across notes like this..believe me it will be great to show him in 5 or 6 years time!
    He’s a very clever boy!

    Those are adorable! The ‘I don’t love you’ one made me smile as it was followed up with such a sweet apology. Can’t wait for my little boy to start writing.
