Swimming Lessons with The Play-do Balloon

Rachael, age 6, loves to write stories. She wrote "Swimming Lessons" this morning. It's actually one of her shortest stories!

She's very concerned that the top got cut off. I told her I would type in the text so everybody could read it. So here it is:

Once upon a time there was a Play-do balloon. One day she had a swim lesson and she didn't want to go in the pool. Her mother said, "Just hop in! I'll give you a floatie."
But she said no as she shook her head. "It's too deep!" she said.
Then her mother just put her in the floatie and put her in the pool. "It's cold," said her mother.
"No it's not. It's just like our hot tub," said the Play-do balloon.
And they swam all over.

Then her daddy came. "What a good swimmer you are with a floatie!" And they swam together.

THE END

BTW, a "Play-do balloon" is when you take an empty balloon, stuff it with play-do, then tie it up so you can squeeze it.

Hi, Jen! Cool that you have a blog site! I'll look forward to viewing more photos of my godson and my cutie pie cousins (which, of course, include you and Bobby). Looking forward to seeing you all in North Carolina at Thanksgiving.
Talk to you soon. Love, Laura
