My 'ittle Author

Jaymeson has started to write in a "journal" like his sisters. Kienna has also been writing a lot of stories to prepare for her PAT, so Jay has picked up on that. I thought I'd let other people read the beginning works of a famous author in the making. Enjoy!!


Kienna served as scribe for this Journal entry:

This was a dictated story.  I had just explained the "Characters, problem, solution" formula to Kienna, and I think he nailed it.

I LOVE that he gave me a title for this one.  It's so random that it had me in stitches.

A Special Valentines Date

Well, I've been looking for a way to spend some more time with Saryn recently. Apparently she came up with a way before me because I'm currently sitting at the Children's Hospital spending my Valentine's Evening with a super special girl.

We were preparing a special family dinner for Valentine's Day and we were just about to call everyone to come sit down and eat when we heard BANG and Saryn was lying on the floor.

She was swinging between the table and island with one hand on each and lost her balance. Landing on hard tile floor on the chin is a great way to get moms attention. Off we went to the Children's Hospital.

The whole way, she didn't want to listen to music or anything, she was too worried. She needed to know exactly what would happen to her. After explaining that the people at the Children's Hospital LOVED kids and would be so nice to her, she calmed down a little.

In triage, we had a sweet nurse that said the words that Saryn needed. "Oh, that's just fine, the doctor can fix that up NO problem" and "we're going to put some "magic cream" on that so when the doctor fixes it up, it won't hurt you at all.

So far, so good. We're playing Nintendo Games in the waiting room and she's sufficiently distracted. Here's hoping we get in some time soon...

Monkey Benson

It was quiet for a minute, so I ran to check why. He found the sugar cookies and was going to town. I guess he's feeling a lot better after his Scarlet Fever.

My very own SUPERMAN!

"This is the best Super Cape EVER!"

Jaymeson got a new super cape from Granni (Jarett's mom) this morning. Now he, Benson and Jarett can ALL have one. He immediately wanted to wake up his sisters to show them, and he has been begging Jarett to put his on too. These are some of his quotes once he tried it on.

"It's a CTR ring Super Cape, too!!"

"Super Capes never give up"

"It's kind of like a life jacket, because it helps me float, then I sink and then it shoots me back out if the water!"

"I wish I had five eyeballs, then I could walk sideways, and the other sideways, because I'd have eyes on my cheeks. And I could also see up because of the one on top of my head!"

The picture is blurry because he kept on wanting to jump off before I could take the picture. Truly indicative of how he was this morning.
