Jake has been writing a diary for almost eleven months, not having missed a single day! It was his idea because he likes remembering things. Dishes he ate, people he met, places he saw, gifts he received, paintings he made. The diary entries vary in length. Mostly he writes three to six sentences but sometimes he fills the entire page and needs to glue in another sheet of paper. In summertime he had a lot to write about because he recorded every Worldcup game he watched and every fruit and vegetable he harvested from the garden. His handwriting and spelling have changed a lot due to his diary-writing. He tries out different spellings and eventually looks up the correct spelling in the dictionary. He has also been experimenting with different styles of handwriting.
Last Friday Jake went to Venice for the day to show the city to a friend who was staying with us for a few days. If you have ever been to Venice you can imagine how busy he was while being there... and that he needed several pages to record what they'd seen...
