Indulge me please. All summer one of my kids has been working with a tutor to improve his reading and writing skills. The tutor just sent me this story, written by my son... with only a bit of assistance on punctuation.
"We rolled up to the fifth hole in our clean white golf cart. I looked out over the sparkling green water. I saw the fountain spraying white mist everywhere. I looked at the green and saw that it had a sand trap to the right. The flag was at the front of the oval shaped green by the water. I thought about how I could get across the water. My six iron would get there if it were land - the ball could roll. My seven iron would hit the ball over the water, but not far enough. I decided to use my five wood. It hits that far and hits high enough. I was the last to hit. No one had gotten over so I lined up, checked my aim, then swung hard and fast. The club made a crisp snap when it struck the ball. I looked up. The ball was over the water then over the green. I looked down and walked away."
I'm one proud mama!

WOW!! Just WOW!!!
Loved this story!! Way to go!!! So descriptive! It was like I was standing there listening to a Golf announcer speaking in a hushed tone describing the golf match.
So proud of this child of yours....one of my favorite little people!!!
-D-
Don't ever let him hear you call him "little people." He's taller than his grandma now :D
The best part of this story isn't the amazing detail that allows me to visualize and hear everything going on (although that happens). No, the best part of this is the story of perseverance that it demonstrates.
Huge crocodile tears fell down my cheeks when I read his story. It's been hard, but I'd do it all over again if he needed me to.
Thanks for rejoicing with me, sweet friends.
