Ten days ago, our Little Man (who had just
become the proud owner of a brand new notebook) wrote a story (in English) on his own initiative, without our knowing that he was doing so.
“The
/Sirt/ and The Flag” [by DJM]
(You

Please note that both the spelling (reflecting his [mis]pronunciations) and the punctuation are his original work! As a writing teacher, I’m amazed that he has managed to pick up so many rules of punctuation, seemingly by osmosis!
E’s example and enthusiasm (with “Un Cuento Celeste”), plus our being out at the camp, likely contributed to the storyline – and I especially love the theme of solidarity he displays!
♥ E is a great little teacher (even if she doesn’t understand
the concept of Zone of Proximal Development quite yet!) ♥
Those wheels are always turning...!
Yesterday while DJ finished his lunch, gazing at the fire in the fireplace, he confided to JM [paraphrased]:
“You never really
stop thinking. Because when you think you’ve stopped, you’re thinking about
stopping!”
JM wisely replied (to our often over-tired Little Man):
“That’s why you have to go to sleep sometimes – so you can stop thinking!”
[Not much changes
in two years or so, eh?!] J
