Jot It Down

It is one of the reminder’s I get from Bravewriter. And I feel a little guilty that I get through the day and have not taken the time to “jot down” any of my kid’s witty sayings.

Yesterday it finally clicked and I have this witty saying from a very precocious 4yo. After hearing she was a good artist she replied:

Soon I’ll be able to live at museums because museums have artists.

LOL! As soon as she said it I asked, “Ooh! What a wonderful saying. Can I write that down?” She looked at me with a curious expression but said “okay.”

As I wrote it out, I said each word slowly and she watched the whole process with much interest. Ooh! I thought. This is working! Afterwards, I put it on the fridge and stood back to admire it. What connections she’s making there, I can’t be sure. But I know there’s something going on (constantly) in that growing brain of hers.

Next thing I hear is, “Mommy, can you show me how to write that down too?”
