"...Christopher Robin and I walked along, under branches lit up by the moon...Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore as our days disappeared all too soon... So, help me if you can I've got to get back to the house at Pooh Corner by one. You'd be surprised there's so much to be done; count all the bees in the hive,chase all the clouds from the sky..." --from Return to Pooh Corner by Kenny Loggins

Isa's Song
Isa wrote a song. I thought it was so adorable! I love this stage of "phoentic spelling." I feel a bit reluctant to teach her correct spelling because I love the way she writes her words. Just in case you can't read her song, I'm going to type and interpret.
Wot [what] do you do on Sunday...you go to church and you eat lunch aftr...wot do you do on monday...you wach [watch] schos [shows] and you eat an appl...wat do you do on Tuesday you war [wear] green to school and you war green to Grandma's...wot do you do on Wednesday...you make some crafs [crafts] and you paly [play] with yore mom...wot do you do on thursday...you look at hawsese [houses] and feed the triops...wat do you do on Friday...you reed [read] book's and you wach [watch] a moovee...wat do you do on Saturday you kleenup [clean up] the haws [house]
She did this on a Sunday, before any of this had happened. I was amazed at her perceptiveness-- the fact that she knew Tues was St. Patrick's Day (we were to go to my parent's for a green dinner that night), and also that she knew at least one day we would go out to look at houses. Also that she knew Saturday is job day (I'm not that consistent about this-- I'm not sure Kaedon knows Saturday is job day!) See this link if your curious about Triops: http://http://www.science-city.com/triopskit.html. Ugly little creatures, thats for sure, but fun (one time!).

Very cute - she'll be a composer when she gets older. I love that phonetic stage also. I have a kindergartner doing the same thing.
What a treasure ! I've read Karl's 2nd grade story about snakes and cowboys and rainbows; I'm so glad his mom saved it.
She is one beautiful, bright girl! That is a great way to preserve something that will be so fun for her to look back on! Kyla wishes Mia could poof herself here too! :)
