Brinley is into writing stories. She has afternoon kindergarten so she has all morning to get into her "zone" as we call it. She reads books to herself and her dolls. She gets out the calculator and writes millions of numbers all over paper...which she knows exactly what each and every one means. Some days she gets out all of the card games and sorts them all over the couch. She is constantly pulling the paper and boxes out of our recycle bin in the garage to create something with them. She fills in the forms on all the junk mail. Hopefully she doesn't accidentally apply for something some day!! She writes stories and draws lots of pictures. My living room gets transformed every morning into whatever she feels like doing that day. She is a smart little whipper snapper...and I think there is a reason for that! She does not enjoy watching TV or movies or playing with most normal toys...but hand her some scrap paper, a calculator or a notebook and pen, and she is in heaven!!! Chris and I often look at each other and wonder where she came from and what in the world she will be when she grows up!!!
Here is a sample of some of her work. She wrote this story this morning...complete with Kindergarten phonics!
1. oun day sum wun wuz fiteeng with hr frend named britney the end. 2. ouns a pon a tim there ouz sum leftovrz frum last nit i ast if i kud havsum the end. 3. ouns a pon a tim mi frends kam ovr to mi haws to ask if i koud play i sed no they ast wiy be kuz i am sik they sed ok and they wokt awa the end.
In case you need an interpretation, the story says:
1. one day some one was fighting with her friend named Britney (interesting how close this name is to hers!!) the end. 2. Once upon a time there was some leftovers from last night I asked if I could have some the end. 3. Once upon a time my friends came over to my house to ask if I could play I said no they asked why because I am sick they said ok and they walked away the end.
Oh how I will miss not having any more spelling challenged 5 year olds!!!
