Mind-Numbing Work

Lily is so articulate, intelligent and loving. She is fun to be around and has a great imagination. She is like a sponge, soaking up all the education that the fine state of California has to offer (*sigh*) and she is reading like it's going out of style!

That being said, I was shocked to discover how mind-numbing it can be to help her write. Of course, the end result of her short stories are witty, humorous stories of heroism and adventure, but the path to her greatness is sounded out - o-n-e - a-g-o-n-i-z-i-n-g - l-e-t-t-e-r - a-t - a - t-i-m-e. Sometimes, the same letter is sounded out multiple times. Oh the joys of having a kindergartener!
