I've been cleaning house all morning - lovely way to spend a Saturday, right? I was just straightening up Alex's work table, sorting through school papers to keep and toss and deciding which drawings to save. Lately Alex has been writing more, jotting down short thoughts on a page and then drawing all around them. I just found this one (all spelling and punctuation is his:
If i had war to peace i would end the war in IRAQ and go up to hevan. Then i would save some other people who were sick. And get along with everybody. And make every planet have life.
How did I get so lucky to have such a sweet child?
That rocks! Katie is much the same way- she draws copious pictures, but more than anything she writes. Notes and stories are falling off of every flat surface in her room.
our children have such immense capacities for so much beauty and compassion. How does it get taken away from so many of us as we grow older? My daughter is my hero many days- I'm sure Alex is yours as well.
