So we have started a little book/journal for Isaac. And it's a different kind of book, because the entire thing will be by HIM! On occasion, we will sit down and I'll have him tell me a story. And I will annotate everything he says word-for-word. It has been fascinating watching his little mind create stories and tell them with such excitement. Here are his past few...they have a very common theme: dragons, swords, death, and fighting. :) Have I mentioned that he's a BOY? :)
Once upon a time there was a choo-choo train with a princess and a boy in it. And it was going REALLY fast. Then an alligator got the princess. Then God saved her. He said, "No, alligator, don't get her! She's my child!" The boy said, "Alligator, that's MY sister!" The End -by Isaac Ober
There was a dragon and it killed the boy! But there was wild things. And the wild things tried to eat the dragon. But the dragon went RAAAOOAR! And they got scared. And they flew away to Badgio. The End. -by Isaac Ober
Once there was a dragon and there was a sword. And then there was Isaac and he was a big ole, big ole brother. And he had a sister and her name was Naomi. He had a sword to fight the dragon. So he made the dragon die. Isaac winned. The End. -by Isaac Ober
While they look short typed out on here, they actually fill up an entire fat-lined piece of paper in our primary journal. And there is space at the top for illustration. He isn't interested in drawing himself and has requested that I do most of them. I will not be doing it for much longer, though, as I want him to develop some of his drawing skills. :)

I had to literally LOL at the third story! What a character. The end. :)
