Daniel presented us with his first written story tonight.
Last night he lined up his Lego figurines, got into bed with a notebook and a pen and told us he was writing a story with the figurines as inspiration.
I cannot even begin to tell you how proud this makes me. (And a little weepy)
He has come such a long way this year. He has overcome intense separation anxiety, bullying and some other challenges that are not for me to write about.
He is a funny, gentle, clever little man and we are incredibly blessed that he chose us to be his parents.
It is so good to hear him laugh his trademark belly-laugh again. Having twin sisters that are a tsunami of energy and noise at the best of times can also not be easy, I’m sure he feels excluded sometimes. Yet, the three of them are a unit. They stand up for each other, they giggle, they make up silly games. They love with abandon.
How did we get this lucky?
Gosh, raising kids is never easy and every single one of them present their own challenges. Well done to him and to you as parents. He is a wonderful little soul
He is really special 🙂
How wonderful that Daniel is writing stories and is in a happier place. Please transcribe his story. I would love to read it but am struggling to discern the words from the Angry Birds paper.
Will do Tracy, but in a nutshell: the story is about buying the lantern with the Genie, going on a journey into a big house, finding a Princess that is being made to go to sleep by a bad Wizard and rescuing her. Very sweet.
