Football Play Names

Jonathan (5 years)

Nearly every night when Daniel gets home from work he and the boys go outside and play football on the grassy lot next door. Daniel is the permanent quarterback and the boys take turns being on offense or defense. They take turns huddling with Daddy discussing their next play too. Last night Daniel gave the boys each a template to write out and name a few of their own plays. He gave them an example and called it "Eagle". This morning I noticed Jonathan working on his and I was eager to see what he came up with. I couldn't help but smile when I saw the spellings of his play names. They went as follows:
Cetu
Jagwir
Leprd
Dragin
Dinusr
Elufint
Rinnosris
and Eagle.

I love phonetic spelling in little kids! And in case you're wondering b/c it took me a second to figure out...I think Cetu is his way of writing Cheetah. =)
