Tonight when we started dinner, I escorted #3 (the seven-yr-old) to her room so she could clean it before eating. When I went back a few minutes later to check on her progress, she had strewn her sister's "noodles" (which, basically, are giant pipe cleaners) around the floor. So I just shut the door again. Twenty minutes later, I heard her knocking. I opened the door and she walked out without a word...spoken. The room was clean and on the floor she had left this:
After dinner, parental help with the dishes, and some cuddle time, she disappeared. At bedtime, she told me she had a surprise for me. She led me through the house to her room while I closed my eyes in anticipation. This is what I found there:
I am always amazed at the creative ways she expresses herself. This time the message was very clear. Good penmanship too! I sure love her.

ooh i like those noodles! they look like fun! Z will draw pictures and write notes and come hand them to me silently when she is upset. Or, if she is in her room, she'll sing songs about the many abuses she suffers. :o) At least she finds ways to express herself, right?
My 8 year old is a written communicator, too. Although I've never received jumbo sized announcements. That was very cute.
hilarious! My kids just communicate through very loud yelling. I can't imagine who taught them that.
I like the noodles too. Where does one get such a thing? She's certainly creative to think of writing a message with the.
It's scary how clever your kids are.
AWESOME!!! I can tell she has been practicing making words with the -ad word family chunk. I hope that next time it reads
"Andrya's RAD!"
