In the early years of elementary school, children are taught to write essays and such based on the main idea, three details, and conclusion set-up. They are given a prompts to get them started.
Now Emmaline is a FANTASTIC writer. I've been told since my young school days that I'm a great writer; but if I had the talent of my daughter early on...man, I'd be a best sellers' author by now. Em just amazes me...infinitely. Once she tailors her craft, she will be astounding the world with her words.
I think it's in her details and her vocabulary. They seem so wise and older. And there is so much personality in her stories. They don't just stop at the required. She's humorous. She's introspective and observant. Her tales hold so much of her in them.
Ok....I want to share something from last September that was written about me. I'm being completely self-indulgent in posting this but hey, this is my blog. We received all the paperwork from the year yesterday since school is ending in two weeks. I was looking through the lot and found this and it brought the weepy, sentimental bit out. Take into account that this was written a month after school started last year. Her writing skills have developed, and are still developing, since then.
My mom is a special person in my life.
My mom is special to me because she plays family game night. We play all sorts of games. Sometimes we play playstation.
My mom is special to me because she is the best cook in the world. She cooks everything. She could cook a bug, and it would taste good.
My mom is special to me because she took me to Memphis, Tennessee to see my cousins. We went to dinner to celebrate a birthday.
Now, I told you who the special person in my life is.
...and this is why my kid is the greatest kid.
