Ada’s Story
Ada is our beautiful, too-smart, almost six year-old. Dan brought home some of her recent stories after parent/teacher conferences this week. This one is our favorite. I’ll let you try to decode and then give you the translation.



The stars swam quietly
The stars got scared because I made my bad-est face
I apologized and they took me up into the sky






I love this. And the illustration is priceless.
Sweet Ada! I love her imagination and her picture is so great! Tell her Grandma Ree thinks she’s a beautiful “star”!!
She’s definitely going to be a writer just like her mamma!
sounds and looks like the beginning of a wonderful children’s story to me! Thank u Ada this is lovely!
This is wonderful! Hurray Ada Jewell!!
I love “the stars swam quietly.” It sounds like poetry.
Wish I could right…I mean write..like that.
That’s exactly what I thought, Katie. After Dan read it he imagined using those words in a song.
Okay, so I want you to know I TOTALLY figured out what she was writing before I read your interpretation!! I still have the piece of paper where Rachel (my youngest daughter that just got married last weekend!) wrote spaghetti for the first time…. “busgeddi”
I love how kids write…pretty much how they think! They see things for what they are!
