Artist

Last week I was a writer, this week I'm working on being an artist. I have colored at least 5 entire sheets of paper in colorful stripes. I typically show off the progress of my work after completing one or a couple new stripes. After I complete my work I sometimes add stickers and then up on the refrigerator it goes. Luckily there are a ton of magnetic clips to use. On Veteran's Day I even made a special art piece to commemorate the holiday.

I also think that Adam is benefitting from all my coloring. He usually sits at the table with me and draws too, practicing how to hold his pencil and draw new shapes and letters. He's pretty good at keeping up with me, for example we can play Guess Who together! I can even get him to play dress up with me too! 

Authorship

This week at school I got my interim report card. I'm still doing very well at school although Mommy and Daddy are dumbfounded by the fact that I didn't receive the best score in writing… my report card coming just days after I wrote and illustrated my very first book. I started it at school, meaning I had a title page made and a bunch of blank pages on the inside. At home I finished my book, entitled "Cora and Adam". In the book Adam and I have an adventure at the park. I am so proud of my book I read it to the family 3 times in a row when it was fresh off the press! I love writing, and can't believe my teachers don't think I have mastered writing. Perhaps it's because I sometimes rush and forget to capitalize the first letter of the sentence or randomly capitalize words in the middle of the sentence. I'm only 5, I've got plenty of time to practice writing…
