More spelling fun

Noah was working on abbreviations today, and I had him write the name of one of his favorite people, Mrs. Stone.  Ever logical, he wanted to know why there was an "r" in the abbreviation when there's no "r" in the longer version of the word.  A few lines down from Mrs. Stone, he wrote Mr. Stone, because, according to Noah, "I can't have Mrs. Stone without Mr. Stone."  Then Sarah, true to her artistic nature, told Noah to draw a heart in the space in between, because Mrs. Stone loves Mr. Stone.  Spelling with the logical and the artistic can take a long time.
