I am Showered With Love
Ben has been so motivated to practice writing that he writes me letters everyday. He insists on doing the spelling all on is own and will only give me a single sound to help him guess the letter. Needless to say I have many letters now that he asks me to read back to him and I am scrambling to try and guess the words he has written there. He only knows a few vowels and often does not have enough consonants either for me to make a good guess. Quite frankly I'm puzzled by all but "I luf U". Still it is charming. I'm saving them although I wonder what I will tell him they say when we get them out 20 years from now since we couldn't read them right after he wrote them.

Twin language, indeed. Ethan also seems to live in an almost entirely vowel-less world. Considering there are too many choices about what the vowels sound like (I mean really: they all sound the same in different words!), I can see the practicality of this move...
lAnd everyone laughed at me when you kids were little and I pacticed the ah, eee, ooo, ka, uah with you. Ha Ha on them. Your all had vowels and gr, la, ta.
maybe you have someone on your blog who can read Ben kindergarden spelling? like his brother?
Oooo...I used to love the La La song, mom!
You all fail to understand. Nepali is mostly vowel-less. "ah" is the default between consonants unless specified. Much nicer....
Its an optimization we should be embracing instead of breaking them of. :)
