This morning I was unpacking Aubrey (6) and Emma’s (4) back packs, removing all the work they had brought home and getting them packed up for a new day. I stacked Emma’s worksheets on the counter and Aubrey caught a glimpse of this sheet:
Aubrey: EMMA!!! Look at this mess! We can not have this!
Emma: Wellllll, I was jest in a huwwy and I scwibbled a wittle bit…
Aubrey: Uh, uh, uh. I need to come to your school and teach ya’ll how to color, you got a frowny face! We can NOT have this!
Aubrey flipped through the stack of papers to this page:
Aubrey: See Emma! You can do it if you only try!!
Emma smiled.
Aubrey: Momma, I need you to print some worksheets for Emma. The kind with the dots so we can practice her name… and I think maybe some color sheets. I’m going to work with her this afternoon.
Indeed.
Indeed, is right! Killing me!
Let me know how the lesson goes!!
Never give up, Emma! And a nice job at big sistering, Aubrey!
Is it bad that I LIKE that she colors outside of the lines??
I agree with you Robin! She's a free spirit and that should never get a frowny face!
