Garret's poem

Okay...so once again it's become obvious that I'm not good at this whole blogging thing. There have been lots of things going on and I should probably write about them and share pictures, but not right now. Right now I'm going to indulge in a "proud mama" moment.  Garret wrote a poem in school and just recently gave it to Ben.  Hopefully, neither of them will mind too much if I share it. :)

I Am From

By Garret Isom

I am an awesome fast reader,

I wonder if my dad will make me a root beer float,

I hear my parents talk about going places,

I see him handle military dogs,

I want chocolate

I am an awesome fast reader,

I pretend to be Jedi Knight,

I feel happy when my dad gets home from war,

I touch my dad's work boots because I want to wear them someday,

I worry the dogs bite him,

I cry when my dad is gone,

I am an awesome fast reader,

I understand when my dad tells me to clean my room,

I say my prayers before dinner and bedtime,

I dream for no more wars,

I try to be polite,

I hope my future will be good,

I am an awesome fast reader.

He's right...he is an "awesome fast" reader and a great little writer, too.  The kids are all becoming their own little people and I love getting to witness their growth.
