Reflection

Syd entered the reflections program at School. The theme was "What is beautiful to me"
She took her camera and immediately started taking pictures of her Miss Piggy and her "wedding dress". She then moved on and wrote a song on the piano. but of course couldn't seem to play it the same twice.
After going back and forth about it, she decided to write a poem. She makes up and sings songs all of the time. She's a great little writer so I knew she'd do a fantastic job.
We sat down at the table...me with my pen and paper and Syd with her ideas. I asked her what she thought was beautiful. Her answer....wedding dresses and roses.
I transcribed everything that she would say and this is what she (on her very own) came up with as her entry :

I Love Roses
and wedding dresses too.
I really like them white
I think you like roses too.
I will carry them in my hand
When I get married in my dress
I will walk down the aisle
hold hands and kiss and kiss and kiss
That's beautiful to me.
The End !

Now if that wasn't a winner I don't know what is.
Syd received a certificate for participation ;-)
Maybe next years entry will win something.

She was a little disappointed that she didn't get a medal. I told her that I LOVED her poem and that I was proud of her.

She got her jammies on and played a little basketball. She's learning how to dribble around the back and under her leg.




Hey....if you can't get the ball under your leg...why not get your leg OVER the ball.
Love that kid.
