My Baby Writes, Too!

I'm frankly amazed. My little girl decided to write a book, too--completely on her own accord. She's decided upon an American Girl novel set in the 1920's. I believe the protagonist's name is Violet. Fiona wrote the first couple of paragraphs today, and they are truly cute (sisters heading to school). Anyway, I'm not sure I've ever seen her look more thrilled than when I read them. I did not suggest that my kids write, but I suppose they just catch the enthusiasm! Michael says that they've figured out that writing is an excuse to get out of everything! Ahem, not sure why he thinks that!
