Katie's pictures are becoming more involved -- after she finishes one she always finds someone she can corner and tell all about it. It usually involves someone's birthday, or riding ponies, or someone dressed as a princess, with lots of her friends, real or make-believe.Miriam today has made her first foray into story writing. She came up to me while I was taking a decadent sip from my cup of Trader Joe's European Sipping Chocolate, asking how to spell "walk," then returned several minutes later with this.
As I write this she is expanding it into a full-blown story with illustrations and a book cover. There is about half a ream of lined paper with slightly off-kilter punched holes lying around the house, along with several ribbons which Miriam uses for book binding. I remember doing this sort of thing when I was about the same age (I distinctly remember a page saying "the Eed") but I used a stapler. Ribbons are prettier.Her next story will be about "The Sistr and the Bruthr" I am told.
This is so darn cute. I love watching what Miriam does. My sister Maria is always doing the exact same things! Then two years later my kids start it. It's so nice getting a preview. Maria is into writing elaborate stories with illustrations now too- always about cats and dogs:-) I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic! I can hardly wait for Abby to be reading and writing on her own like that. That's one very creative kid you have there.
