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

    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!

    I love “the stars swam quietly.” It sounds like poetry.

    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! :o )
