A few nights ago, at bedtime, instead of me reading a story to Sarah, our sassy little kindergarten girl read something really special to me. Her journal. She's very proud of what she's created, and I must say for five years old, I'm impressed. She has chapters, titled things like "Yuck" and "Things Sarah Likes" and "Things That are Gross" and she somehow knew to leave blank pages in her spiral bound journal so she could add to each chapter as needed.
I certainly respect my daughters privacy, as much as possible considering they are three and five years old. I'm sharing what you'll see in this post because Sarah gave me permission to "blog it."

Sarah received her first journal about a year ago when she learned to write her name properly. This is her second journal, which she now writes in almost every day. I knew she was using it, but had no idea what was inside.
Pretty cool!
