Connor's a writer!

In Church on Sunday, Connor's Sunbeam class wrote their own little books. Connor wrote about an alligator that was very hungry but ate a pear and felt much better. Does that sound familiar to anyone? It's adapted from one of his favorite books, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. I think it was clever of him to change the main character. He wrote the story phonetically spelling alligator "aliglr" and hungry "hugre." He drew pictures and everything.

Here's a video clip of him reading me the book. I still can't believe he wrote it all by himself! So adorable!

Melanie,
You probably don't remember me, but we went to BYUH together! Suveli, not sure you remember her, and I get together once in a while with out kids. Saw your Salt River post and decided you must be in the Valley of the OVEN too! We thought it would be fun to hunt down at many BYUHers as possible and get together. What do you think?? Let me know!!!
