I had a Teaching Moment!
Last week I was watching my niece for an afternoon and she wanted to work on her special story book. She has this kit that came with a big empty book with stickers and glitter and ribbon all with a fairy/princess/magic theme. She had already written one story, but was very unhappy with how the ending had been written. I told her that it was her story and if she wanted to change it, she could. She was the author. This big grin spread over her face and she ran to a marker. She made Drew beat Harry in the battle, thus Drew won her hand in marriage and not Harry. There was a big X over Harry's name, and in the margin she wrote "I changed the story because I can". Love it! Love her!

This is such a cute story! If she becomes a great author someday when she gets older, I would take full credit if I were you. :-)
This is so great! I'm glad she jumped at your suggestion. Way to be on the ball for teaching moments.
That was adorable. It was great that you could teach her something valuable about writing.
