My First Email from Ruby
October 30th, 2009. Published under Uncategorized. 1 Comment.
Dear Mom,
I think I am going to enter the high jump. I have been practicing and can
get pretty high.
Great-grandma came to see me this morning and I sat in her lap for awhile.
Mema said my poopy diaper was an avalanche. Whew! Glad that’s over. I got to
get a bath in the sink, so now I smell better.
Papa took me outside for a walk around the yard. I saw butterflies and
reached for the leaves.
Such a busy day! Now I need a nap.
I love you, mom. 
Ruby
(This email is actually written by Ruby’s Mema, Martha while I was at my part-time job.)
