Our Kids

The girls have started journaling. Basically what we do is they draw a picture or write words in their journal and I put the date on or write words to go along with the story, it is kind of fun and they seem to enjoy it. It will be a fun thing to look back on in years to come.

Jason started encouraging the girls to make up and tell us stories some time ago. They really enjoy it. Yesterday in their journals they “wrote the story” and then told me all about it.

Here is a story from Lela:

Once upon a time there was a dinosaur. They lived on the beach and they had big trees. Along came a witch and along came a ghost. Along came a vampire! It was Halloween! The End.

Here is a story from Piper:

Once upon a time…..

Two princesses went to their home. They went home after they went to lunch. The mom princess was in the office working on the computer. The two princesses asked if they could play with their little baby princess. The End.

Notice how Lela’s story is totally fictional while Piper is based on something that probably happened in real life. So interesting:)
