Oh boys! The creative juices are a flowing!

Uh oh! It seems as though I have the writing itch back!!
I couldn't wait to get my little one to bed tonight so I could write again!


So, I have these two wonderful boys in my life. I have always encouraged creativity, as I feel it is a very important quality. When my oldest (now 12) was 3, 4 and 5-and probably 6 for that matter-he LOVED to dress up. He had three Teletubby costumes he would rotate through. Sometimes he would wear his Batman pajamas (they came with a cool cape) with his Batman underwear on top. The underwear were important! That was how people knew he was a real hero! I didn't mind at all. In fact, when it was time to go out, and he didn't want to change, we went out like that.He LOVED the attention! He was the coolest kid around! Still is. Even if he doesn't dress like that any more.
Nope, It's not Halloween!
My youngest is.... nuts? He's 5. He likes costumes too, but only rarely wears them out of the house. He did however have a phase where he would allow his older cousin to dress him up. He was always a great sport about it! He's the one that likes to talk to everyone he sees. And I mean EVERYONE! I actually had to stop teaching him our address because he was trying to give it out to strangers on the bus so they could come over and have a play date! He is the friendliest person anyone will ever meet!
Isn't he pretty?

So it's through his creative craziness that I had a peak into how a 5 year old boys mind works.... and BOY does it work FAST!!! We were attempting to do his home reading yesterday, when he decided that instead of reading the word on the page, he would say "fart". He giggled for at least 10 minutes straight! Through a few Facebook suggestions, we decided to write a story today. I thought I would post them for you to enjoy. Remember, these are HIS words, I simply wrote them down. Try to keep up!


Once upon a time there was a boy named Brandon and he farts all the time. And after he farts, he farts again. After those two farts, he couldn't fart. And then he burped. He burped again. Then he couldn't burp. Brandon said "Weeeeeeee the fart" Then he said "Batman farted!"
            After that, he got a new race car toy. After that he could fart again. Then he got a new bunny toy. He got a lego  ninja set. He watched Madagascar and burped 9 times while it was on. After the burps he couldn't burp again. Then he got a new movie and burped through the whole movie.He went behind the couch and had new cards games and played them.

            Brandon had a brother named Kyan. They played cars together all the time. And there was a girl who chased Brandon around until she got to kiss him. And she DID get to kiss him.And they finally met somebody with Yogi Bear and Booboo costumes. After they met the person with the costumes, they met the real Yogi Bear and  Booboo. They went to Yogi and Booboo's house where there was Mouse Trap and Sorry and Kerplunk and card games. They played all of the games. They also had a little Grave Digger monster truck.

         Since Brandon was on an adventure, he missed his mom and dad. So he went home and watched Ant Bully and Batman Begins. Then he had a play date with the girl and Kyan and they all played cars and farted.
 THE END

How was that for a story?! He enjoyed writing that one so much that he wrote another.


Kyan is going to fart when he plays with the Battle Machines. He is going to fart when he shoots the orange Camaro with the blue Mustang. Kyan says "boing boing banana" and he goes bananas. Going bananas is going crazy! His mommy tickled his belly and he fell off the couch. That made him fart  2 times. He laughed and went bananas again. He had everything that Yogi Bear had. He like Ninja Turtle, Cat in the Hat, Monster Trucks and books about Monster trucks. He likes movies and Mouse Trap and Elmo (a little bit). He also like Super Heroes and books and Monsters Inc.. His favourite movie is Avatar (the Last Airbender). His favourite game is Luigi's Mansion (even though he's never played it). His real favourite movie is Tron (even though he's never seen it). He has a Grave Digger  that can run over his hand with all 4 wheels. He has a Speed Cars library book that he really likes. It tells all about sports cars. His favourite car in the book is the yellow Corvette Z06 because he thinks it looks like Bumblebee. Bumblebee is his favourite Transformer.
THE END

And there you have it... my future blogger! Maybe he'll title it Boing Boing Banana. ... but I bet he'll call it "Fart"
