madelyn has finally gotten over her insecurity about making mistakes when writing and we are so proud of her! here is a book she wrote and (mostly) illustrated this week. she really doesn't write letters backwards this often - i don't know what was going on when she wrote this. enjoy.

| from: madelyn some of the pictures are from me |
 |
| the princess had her birthday |
 |
| she had a cake |
 |
| she got a goldfish |
 |
| she got a hat (this was drawn by mason, hence the disclaimer on the cover) |
 |
| she had spaghetti |
other than "princess", madelyn didn't ask me to help her with any words or spelling. i just love the confidence! she works on creative writing a lot at school and then they read it to the class in "author's corner". she brought this 'book' in on friday and read it to her class. i think this is the main reason she decided that she was well enough to go.
here are two more of mason's pieces too...
 |
| he wrote "box" all on his own and brought it to me. he said, "i drew a box and wrote "box" under it" |
 |
| and this is a finger painting from school. he told me that it was him giving jesus a hug. love. |
i love, love, love to see that the kids are expressing themselves on paper! madelyn has even added "author" to her list of future careers. love.

Great story and illustrations! I think its adorable that she used to be hesitant to write, and now has added author to her list of possible careers.
And Mason's 'hug' picture - amazing!
Great work! Love the "uv" for "of". Makes perfect sense!! Glad she has the confidence to write - so important. Love Mason's pictures too! Nana :)
