Today, Gavin wrote his first letter to Santa. Actually, it was his first letter to anyone. Amy told him to start with "Dear Santa", and then asked how he would ask someone for the things he wanted. He responded with a polite request for two things. Then he put pencil to paper and started writing, sounding out the words with minimal help from mom. The result was beautiful:
DER SANTU, MA I HAV A TREX AND A BEL PLES. LUV, GAVIN
(Translation: Dear Santa, may I have a T-Rex and a bell, please. Love, Gavin)
