a continuing project

Kyla and I have decided that we don't spend enough mother daughter time together, so we came up with the idea of putting together a weekly list of things we want to do together.  3 things each is what we agreed upon.

Kyla's list consisted mainly of crafts, dress up, and doing our make-up.  I added doing our nails and "writing and coloring" a story.  We opted to start the first page of the story tonight.

Kyla has named me the author and her the illustrator, however the first page has been a joint effort for sure.

The idea of the story is 100% Kyla's and about 85% of the written words are hers as well.   Here is the beginning of our story - we will add to it as many days per week as possible.

Page 1.
This is a story about a butterfly that flew into a house.
The butterfly flew into the house because she wanted somewhere to live.
The house she picked was red, two story, had a basement and an attic and a lot of windows. There was also a fireplace in two rooms!
She didn't know who lived in the house when she picked it, but she found a pretty pink room that she loved.  The pink room had a window open, so she flew inside to see what else was in there.
The butterfly was so tired from flying and looking for a place to live, she decided to lay on a cute tiny bed in a pretty pink house in the big pink room.

Baki

I have to blog this before I forget.  For the last few weeks Kade has been writing " BAKI "

This is usually written after he writes Kade.  He says that it' s"his name" and he likes it.  After weeks and weeks of proding, we can not figure out where it came from.

In my clever detective work I believe he just wrote it out one day and someone ( Kyla ) said it in a word  to make it sound official that he knew how to spell / write and he just liked it ever since.

It cracks Robert and I up every single time.
