Phonetics = Funetiks

Morgan left this little note lying around the house. It took Jeremy and me about five minutes to decipher because she still spells phonetically, which is beautiful to me. I'll save the answer to your question until after Christmas.Here's a little side note (okay--an under note): When the girls were little, they could not read nor recognize their names but because they were so close in age, they had identical toys. Instead of constantly breaking up toy fights, we decided on a special symbol for each girl. We couldn't use letters because both of their names begin with M. We marked these symbols on their toys until they could recognize their names or tell their toys apart. They still love to use their symbols. Morgan drew in the symbol for each child next to their names at the end of the note.
