I took a quick snap of Ruairi's journal this morning before he packed it into his school bag. His teacher encourages the class to keep a journal in which they write about the interesting and important events in their daily life. See if you can decode Ruairi's entry from yesterday:


His writing's not the best yet (he's a December baby) but once you tune into his phonetic style it makes perfect sense. It does my heart good to note that the most noteworthy event in my baby boy's life yesterday was that "Broc Oboma beacam the prosudint the presadint." Big day for all of us, Ruairi. One to savour for a long time.
