What to do this summer

Puttachi is mighty kicked that her vacation is starting in a month.  And she is going into overdrive planning how she'll spend her days.  So I asked her to sit down and make a list of what she wants to do, and she came up with this, and stuck it on the refrigerator.


This is the first time she's written so much at one go.  And I find this a fascinating study, because she hasn't yet started full-fledged reading, and has written all this just by applying her knowledge of phonics to how she hears words being said.  All the "ing" words are "yg" to her, and I find that both funny and interesting.

Anyway, here's what she's written, and what she actually meant. :)

1. Fygar Papet   - Finger puppet
2. Klot-Dol    - Cloth Doll
3. Kards    - Cards (as in making greeting cards)
4. Kookyg    - Cooking
5. Lanyg Musik    - Learning Music
6. Dans 2 Musik    - Dance to Music (The 2 for "to" is hers - does sms language come naturally?  shudder!)
7. Bakyg-kake-mafins-bred-kookys     - Baking - cake, muffins, bread, cookies
8. Ebroydry    - Embroidery
9. Patyg    - Painting
10. Droyg    - Drawing
11. Groyg plants - Tomato    - Growing plants-tomato.
12. Rark - spots    - Park-sports
13. Lan Kanda    - Learn Kannada (she wants to learn the Kannada alphabet)
14. Rydyg    - Reading
15. Rityg    - Writing
16. Telyg Storys    - Telling stories

I really think that the 'yg' for 'ing' is because of a peculiar accented teacher in her class, you know what i mean!! :p

its really cute, the last update i read about her, she had begun to speak, now she has taken to her mother and started to write! in the genes i suppose.
