It's Not For Learning...

Mya Bella sits in church each week occupying herself with drawing and writing as she listens to the speakers. Two Sundays ago she was drawing pictures of levers, pulleys, fulcrums and other simple machines. She was inspired by a computer game my husband purchased which we call Crayon Physics, because her renderings looked very similar the game's graphics. She is constantly asking to play physics on the computer and when she cannot she creates other opportunities.

Today she was writing lists of words corresponding with letters of the alphabet. She chose A, B and C. She was sounding out words, switching out vowels and leaning over for an assist on more complex words that were very important to her. She wanted to see how many words she could write on her list. At one point she leans over and whispers in my ear, "It's not for learning Mom. I'm just having fun."
