He just asked me to pick up the first book in the 39 Clues series yesterday because one of his classmates has been reading it during silent reading time. And, he saw me reading it a few months ago, so he'd decided that he's ready for it now. :)<br /><br />He's also quite the writer. He doesn't write stories, but he writes letters to his grandparents and friends, and draws pictures to go with them. Oh yeah, and right now he's writing a lot to Santa and drawing pictures for him. :)<br /><br />Kids are awesome, aren't they? :)Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420910182752981979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513702670120363707.post-81031218039010676492010-12-09T09:00:09.310-05:002010-12-09T09:00:09.310-05:00And so now I'M crying too!

My 8 yo wants to be an actor/director/producer, so he's creating new stories all the time (not that he usually writes them down--just story boards them). Now I'm trying to get him to READ more.

Sometimes even my own stories, but...ahem, I write for older kids. My 2 year old is always writing something. And you're right about the older kids. They shrug it off. But that's okay too.
