dear ramona,

you sure do love your endless alphabet app. we cannot believe what you’ve learned from it, how you’ve mastered it, and what a wondrous distraction it can be when mama just needs to make dinner and you just don’t want to let me. and now, when we are reading books, you not only point to the figures in the pictures to name them, but point out and name individual letters too! technology can certainly be a grand thing.

i love you, miss smarty pants. love, mama.
