Ja!es is my oldest son of 4 boys. James is 5 , has a brother Luke 4, brother Nathan 2, brother Jonah 6 months old. James is one of the most creative little person I have ever met and his imagination and creativity is out of this world! Not a lot of people kniwnthis about James becuae you would not know unless you studied his every move but he has mild left hemiplagiah cerebral palsy. His left foot is turned inn slightly so sometimes its difficult to do normal functions that others do, but we encourage James to do everything he can to the best of his abilities. And he exceeds all of our expectations . He truly is one of a kind .While at his dads work the other day paying our bill they had stacks of these little notebooks so I grabbed one fore my 3 oldest boys! Ja!es had his filled in the first day! I had to go out and buy him more :) he now has 5 , and each one holds different topics and things that he like, enjoys or see's. Its amazing and it keeps hi! Occupied for hours. He actually has been getting upset because he running out of things to draw so we are looking things up such as " amazing animals in Africa" " jungle animals" he asks everyone of the things they have seen and what he should write down next. I am beyond proud of James andiI'm so glad that he is sharing his stories with everyone.

My granddaughter (in K next year) writes stories all the time, & then her mother helps her 'write' the real words & she illustrates them.
