She's eight- she wrote about her brother throwing up on her in the car. Apparently that made more of an impression on her than I do.
I think I am getting more out of her schooling than she is. I really like this approach to writing because it teaches kids that a story is like a building and you have to make a foundation and then build using these little moments on top of that. She of course sees none of this but I am having a great time.
wait 'til she's older. My daughter, as a teenager, enjoyed walking with me, still does, kilted or not. (In fact, it seems safer when we're walking than sitting around, hmmmn, there's a lesson there.) Anyway, she gets a kick of out my impatience at crossing busy roads. Eventually, I just "point and walk". The traffic stops all confused. I figure that I never really know where the pedestrian crosswalks are when I'm driving, the drivers won't either. Seems to work, she's impressed. (and frustrated, too, it's a big guy thing, doesn't seem to work with smaller women.)
Enjoy your walks with your daughter, they're nice for both of you to look back on if/when things go kaplooie in the future.
