Short and Sweet

Michael has his first email account, complete with occasional spam (which is new and confusing still to Michael). Michael's grandpa Gordy told me that he asked Michael a number of questions in an email (e.g., how was your field trip, what book are you currently reading, are you feeling better). The last question in this particular email was "Does Spencer have an email address too?" Michael's emailed response to the entire email was the somewhat terse and enigmatic, "No." Michael and I had a little talk about email etiquette and I think he got it. I recently emailed Michael and asked a number of questions. No, it was not a test. I asked, "How are you? Will you be playing in the snow today? Is it the kind that is good for making snowballs? I hope you have a nice weekend. Tell Spencer 'hi' from me and that I love him. I love you. Mom." I received this response "Good and I do not know and the snow is bad for packing and you too and I will tell Spencer." I was pleased to see that he took my advice. Now it may be time to talk with him about punctuation.
