My artsy child

My oldest child is my creative, artsy, imaginative child. Well, actually all of them are, but Clara is now able to read and write, and therefore, express herself in words. She loves to draw comics (she and the boys are currently working on a series called Dorky Dude,) compose songs, and write poetry. She also likes to dance, but with her free spirit, ballet was a little too confining. This year she is doing hip-hop.

This is a poem she wrote that I found on a shopping list. I love it.

Rain

In the rain

I love to dance

And here and there

I prance

In the rain

I love to splash

And around the puddles

I dash

In the rain

I love to hear thunderstorms

And in the distance

Lightning flash.

That's my girl.
