"h"


School has brought out a side of Sophia that I did not know existed. I knew she wouldn't have a hard time at school cause she is charming and she makes friends easily, but I always assumed that she would be lazy with her work. She is not. Tristan has described some of her recent antics, spelling off the tv, but she also writes letters in the air. This can be difficult considering that she is still learning which direction letters face and she is tracing it in the air so depending on which side of her you are on there are all sorts of things that need to be considered before you can say with certainty "h".
"h" does happen to be a favorite of Sophia's. Yesterday she came with me to buy some new scrubs for work and as we were paying the cashier wrote payck (paycheck) in cursive. Sophia watched her as she wrote this and then told her, "You wrote your h upside-down". The cashier and I looked puzzled for a minute and then I glanced at the receipt. "No baby, that's a y"
But if she were tracing it, upside-down on the couch, it would be an "h".
