The conversation I had with Sydney way too early this morning when she woke moaning.
Me: What's wrong honey?
Sydney: (indecipherable mumbles)
Me: Shhh. It's okay.
Sydney: You (mumble, mumble) my bag.
Me: Say that again
Sydney: You forgot to pack my bag.
Me: For Madi's sleepover? I told you we'd do that after school today.
Sydney was silent for at least a minute. I'd thought she'd fallen back to sleep and was about to return to my room. But then...
Sydney: Are there any words you can't spell?
Me: Of course there are. Mostly big ones.
Sydney: Like "here"? That's a big one. It's one of my sight words
Me: I know how to spell "here". Do you remember how?
Sydney: I can't remember.
Me: It's H-E-R-E.
Sydney: H-E-R-E. (pause) I know how to spell "to". T-O. That's easy peasy.
Me: Good. Now can you go back to sleep?
Sydney: I just want to snuggle.
