Every Monday morning, after I pack Xena's snack box, I stick a little sticky note on it. It usually features a random drawing with a speech bubble wishing her luck for a test, or just to say hello from mommy.
Yesterday, I was looking through one of her classroom workbooks that the teacher had sent back. She had to write three words ending with -ook, and draw a picture to show one of them. I was so amused (and impressed) to see that though she could have easily drawn 'cook' or 'book', she chose to go off the beaten track and drew 'shook' using the motion lines we had discussed.
Takes right after her dad, I can see.
(Hey, don't judge. I drew these at 6 in the morning, ok?)
She really looks forward to my notes and from what she tells me, some of her classmates do too. She diligently brings the notes back and gives me constructive feedback on whether the drawings were cute or not, and what I can do to improve them. Sometimes she asks me to explain things, like what the motion lines that I sometimes draw around the arms and legs of the characters indicate.

I am just amused how you make time for your kid and keep her away from digital world. I really admire you and your kid. Keep it going! Please provide me tips too.. I have 2 boys aged 3 yrs and 6 months.

Dew,
Thank you so much. All you need to keep them screen-free is determination. :)
