Here's a story the Little Guy decided to compose on his white board. (I'll translate below. The teacher told them it was okay to write phoenetically right now, and he seems to be making this his life's mission.)
Once upon a time a little boy (him) was walking with his mom.
He almost tripped. (He did.) His mom catched (sic) him. The boy thanked her.
The End.
It's all true. We were in fact walking to school over a thin sheet of ice last week. If he hadn't been holding my hand it could've been very nasty. Just in case you can't quite make out the look of motherly concern on my face, here it is again:

Just look at that concerned expression. (That's me with the long hair BTW.) And didn't I tell you I don't mind wearing skinny jeans - with legs like this, do I have any other option?
I am used to children's writing so understood it perfectly.
ReplyDeleteHe seemed to get the expressions just right!
WONDERFUL. LOVED it!
Nuts in May
Nope, I didnt need a translation either. I think everyone should write phonetically anyway. It might discourage the grammar/spelling police! Or maybe then there would be phonetic police...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this is really cute. I love these things and its great to make a post out of it--lots of awwww factor. ;) Ive saved several little notes and Letters to Santa etc mine have done for this reason alone!

ReplyDeleteToo funny I love children writing stories and the art work! I have to say I'm jealous you have such skinny legs!
ReplyDeleteOh, I understood that perfectly, didn't need the translation. You really do have VERY skinny legs you know! Also, oddly, I was actually taught using a phonetic reading scheme in the 1960s, so for about a year (I think they dropped it after about 1 year, the parents probably couldnt read it) thats what my books looked like!
ReplyDeleteGenius. I did need the translation, so thanks for that. I also love your Alice Cooper hair. Brilliant x
ReplyDeleteYour wonky lips say it all - concern and recovery - all in one go. What a gifted artist!
ReplyDeleteOh that is simply gorgeous! And your legs look fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteLovely, just lovely. Laminate it now.
ReplyDeleteHelena xx
Am so impressed that might have to go and lie down. You are indeed a Good Mother.
ReplyDeleteAnd I too needed no translation.... LOVED the pics. Now, off to read about those crabs now in previous post. That sounds bad. But you know what I mean...xx
Completely lovely, you saved your little one from harm and he will always thank you... Very glad to have found your blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely story. I didn't need a translation either - I think he spells just great!
ReplyDeleteThat is just lovely. Love the 'uh-oh'!
ReplyDeleteWow, look at your pins. And that mane of yours, woo-hoo!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous story, btw.
Brilliant- proof indeed
ReplyDeleteApparently I said "Whoa Nelly" but he couldn't spell it.
ReplyDeleteAnd "he thanked her", so you've taught them impeccable manners to boot.
