Proud mommy is PROUD

[grammarwoman]

Guys! OMG GUYS! The Emperor is an author. He wrote a book in daycare, drawing the pictures himself and dictating the text to his teachers, who are in utter awe - "None of the kids have written a book before!"

It's three folded-up pages, bound together by tape and pure AWESOMESAUCE.

Allow me to present this exciting new work.

"Sea, by Jimmy" (The big gray blob is supposed to be a Caldecott Medal. I mean, WOW.)

"Eels are long and skinny." "This is a whale. It can breathe water out of its blowhorn that is on its head. It is also big."

"This is an orca whale. It is different from a whale because it is black with white dots. People also call it a killer whale."

"This is a shark. It hunts for fish in the sea." "This is a goldfish. It is called a goldfish because it looks just like the snack!" (This one is my personal favorite, for obvious reasons.)

"This is a crab. It is different from a lobster because it is shorter and has claws." "This is a lobster. It is red."

"This is a squid. It's different from the octopus because it has a bigger head." "This is a swordfish. It is called a swordfish because it has a nose like a sword." "This is an octopus. It is different from a squid because it has a shorter head."

*FLAILS* My son! He's so amazing! Pardon me while I go wipe away the gleeful mommy sniffles and try not explode from pride.

Thanks! I'm so ridiculous, I know, but I just had to share this with the world. *grin*

That's a pretty awesome book at any age!

LOVE the goldfish! =)

I'm sure we'll be hauling this out for years to come. *grin*

(Totally dorky, but I made an icon.)

woot!

You should shop around and try to get that little book published! *g* Especially since he put a Caldecot on the front! =)

Hee! I was actually pondering that, since Snapfish is running a deal for a free flip book.

ooh! Go for it!

Even if you spring for a hardcover - snapfish puts together nice books! I made one a couple years back with photos I'd taken of the family-types. They do a really good job. =)
