Hannah

Around Christmas time (I know this is old) Belle was very into making her own Christmas cards for people. She would draw a picture or something and then tape a piece of candy to it and then fold it up and tape it shut. On Christmas Eve, when all the exchanging was done in our little family exchange, Belle was not ready to be done with the gift giving and receiving. So. She hauled to her bedroom and found the card she had made for Hannah (her step sister who is 8 I think?). She came out and gave it to Tren and told him she made it for him. I stopped her and said "I thought you made that for Hanna?" and she said "Ohhh noooo,... that was a different one... this is for Tren". So he proceeds to unwrap it and we are looking it over and can see "Hannah" sort of written on it there in the top right,... and then one other word.... Can you see it?


As funny as it is, Belle had told me a few days before, that Hannah had told her how to spell it. I told her not to repeat the spelling or say the word. So, instead she wrote it on Hannah's card, included a little chocolate and planned to pass it on. Instead, wrapped in the excitement of Christmas, she gave it to Tren. When we saw this word and asked her what it said the look on her face was priceless! You could see her read it and sound it out and then the "oh crap!" look on her face. She ran to her room and grabbed a marker and said "oh that was a mistake!" and scribbled it out. I love it!

There are much worse words out there she could be writing, right?
