Today while I was cleaning up from breakfast and getting Nora dressed, Jonah told me he was going to go write a book. I said, “OK. Good idea.” After a little while, he came running over and was VERY excited for me to come read the story. Even though he’s done bits of writing in the past, I was surprised at how much he had written. Apparently it’s pretty heavily based on a story that Sean made up at bedtime the night before, and he really wanted to turn it into a real book.

Here are the first two pages with translation.

“There once was a mom who used to make pies. Jonah and Dad… played baseball.”

Of course, he then had to draw a picture of a baseball field.  Can’t forget that!

“Jonah stopped swinging his bat because he smelled the pies… Jonah dropped his bat and…”

And that’s where it ended.  :)  But he did all of this on his own, and was extremely proud of his writing!  We are also pretty impressed.
