I AM

My friend's little boy wrote a very sweet poem at school. I liked it so much that I used the format and had Danny and Alyssa write their own.

I AM, by Danny Nielson
I am a good boy,
I wonder about my dog, Mabel,
I want to be a wrestler,
I am a good boy.
I pretend to play soccer games at home,
I feel happy when mom and dad give me hugs,
I worry about Haley when she is sick,
I am a good boy.
I say "I love you",
I dream about Lyssie and I getting eaten by a big T-Rex,
I try to help with things,
I am a good boy.

I AM, by Alyssa Nielson
I am awesome,
I wonder about what's going to happen,
I want to be famous,
I am awesome.
I pretend to be a fairy,
I feel happy when I get cake,
I worry about monsters,
I am awesome.
I say, "Please" and "Thank You",
I dream about the Jonas Brothers,
I try to be good,
I am awesome.

I dream about the Jonas Brothers getting eaten by Danny's T-Rex.

These are so great.

I love the Alyssa says "I am awesome" 4 separate times. The girl has great self-esteem. :)

Actually she didn't say it four times, just once. The format of the poem is that the first line is repeated every 4 lines. But it cracked us up that she said it at all - definitely a healthy self image!

I thought I left a comment yesterday about this and I'm pretty sure this one did not contain expletives so I don't know where it went. Anywho...cute poems. What great kids. Jacob just missed being translated by the small comment about wanting to be a wrestler. Alyssa shares my happy line I'm happy when I get cake, chocolate, bread, rice krispie treats, ice cream, etc.
