Aidan's first story
I posted this on Aidan's little blog too, but wanted it on mine too! I am just so proud of him and glad that he likes to write. He keeps sitting down with some paper and a pencil asking me what he can write about.

Here is a story by Aidan. He was writing at bible class on Wednesday night and this is what he came up with. He was writing a story about being Dash…from the Incredibles of course. He wrote this and then he helped me to translate it into to what is at the bottom of this post. We made sure to tell him to make sure to leave spaces next time, as it would be easier to read…and I think it would also help him to keep focused and see what he has already written and what he hasn’t.

I copied this first bit straight from his paper. No spaces, except the one after the word Dash. This is what the top portion of a lined piece of loose leaf paper looked like…well, there were a few backwards letters too! Some S’s and Z’s and an N or 2. He did a great job!

HIIEMDASH IMSOPRIMESHW
OFF SOPRFIMILEDADSMISHN
WIZTODIFEIOMNIDROIDORM

(Here it is with the words broken up with spaces between and some punctuation.)

HI IEM DASH. IM SOPR. IM E SHW
OFF. SOPR FIMILE. DADS MISHN
WIZ TO DIFE I OMNIDROID. OR
MOM WZ NOT IBAO IS GEDEN ON. UND
WRU OR SOPR S. MOM CHNCHD I.
DAD FAOD SDRIOMS CIPEYOUDR.

(And here it is translated by him to me…some of it was incomplete as it seems he lost his focus. He did spell omnidroid correctly, but only because he was copying what I had written on another sheet of paper. All the rest of the spelling/misspelling is his own. I was very proud of him. This is the most he has ever written before. And he was so excited about his story!)

Hi, I’m Dash. I’m a super. I’m a show
off. (We are a) super family. Dad’s mission
was to defeat an omnidroid. Our mom
was not (happy) about us getting on (the plane). And
we were in our super s(uits). Mom changed into a (boat). Dad found Syndrome’s computer.
