Words....

Joe and I were helping Alex with his homework tonight and he had to write a poem about himself.  To help give him some ideas, the three of us brainstormed words that described Alex and he wrote them down.  Then we had Alex choose a few of those words to use in his poem.  I loved to see the words Alex chose for himself.  All of the words he wrote down described him (except maybe enormous!), but I was delighted to see the words that he himself picked out.  The words that he felt were calling to him....

real

brave

loving

colorful

funny

silly

athletic

Agreed, my sweet boy, agreed.
