Report Card

Last week brought us report cards for both Mae and Caleb. And reports show that they are both doing well in school!!! However, I can not escape the fact that report cards aren't what they used to be. Wait, I think I'm dating myself if I say something like that. Does that make me (gulp) old???

Anyway, not only do we get a two page spread of how each child is doing in various subjects and categories, but Mae's teacher also sent home an abundance of copies of her work. Among the samples of Mae's work was a cute little story she had written about holding Isabel for the first time. I can't resist posting her story, with a cute picture to go with it.

My First Time Holding My Baby Sister!

"Waaa-w-waaa" "It's ok Isabel! We're almost home". I whispered to my little sister Isabel. "We're home!" Mom quietly yelled to everyone. "Can I hold Isabel now Mom?" I asked.

My dad handed my sister (to me). I shivered like I was freezing in Antarctica. I could not do it. I was scared, too much. What if I drop her, cause you know that babies are fragile.

It was too late, she was already in my hands. I just almost screamed. But wait, I think I got it! I do! I really do got it! I wish this will last forever. I hoped so much that my little sister can stay a baby.

Isn't that a sweet story?? However, I do wonder about how much she actually remembers (she was barely 4 at the time) and what parts are artistic license.
