Those Moments.....

When I was a little girl I was overjoyed when my Grandad showed me how you could write the word 'boy' on a paper and turn it into a picture of a boy. I remember I drew that all over my notebooks for school. I was pretty excited when I taught myself how to do the same with the word 'girl'. 

I'm sure there is an official term for this type of art. Whatever it is, as a preteen, I thought it was pretty 'awesome'.

Now when a four year old has drawn a number '2' you get pretty stoked and share in his accomplishment with joy and excitement. 

So when the said four year old tells you he drew a sailboat, it took a second look to see that the sailboat started out as the number '2', and morphed into a sailboat!!! 

Can you see the number '2'?

How about now?

How cool is that?

.... well maybe not that far, but the children have taken to writing letters to one another. It's really sweet.

Perhaps these are what initiated the activity:

Or maybe it's these fun little gift boxes that the children have been placing momentos in and 'gifting' to their friends.

Or maybe it's a combination of both:

All we can say is that our writing centre is a hubbub of activity these days.
