Adding Story Recall to our days!

We are ever tweaking, changing, adding to our Enki world! Just recently we added time to draw. Cedar has always been offered crayons, paper etc but never seems to choose to sink into time with paper. He of course has gone through times of writing letters, (pre enki!) holds a pencil like he is gripping it therefor I am rewinding that in our life and now writing for now just coloring. And so on Thursday we recall the story that we have been reading together. It is fun to hear the important phrases or adjectives that he picks out from them. He really enjoys this dialogue with myself and his buddy if we happen to recall a familiar story during our forest co-op day. Our first story he drew about was a fall story from our Kindergarten nature stories "Mischief Mouse"
he choose the jack-o-lantern with the mouse inside of it. As the story flows with child mouse that wanders too long too far and ends up with the only light flickering a pumpkin.
Our next fairy tale was "Old Troll on Big Mountain" in this story Cedar choose to draw a picture of the boy Olle and the Old Troll next to him. He is just starting to draw people so it is fun to see what he chooses to do with them! (note Troll black foot prints!)
This last picture I had to post. It is a picture Cedar drew of one of his friends on his soccer team! It is a boy, kicking a green soccer ball and the red is the bench in the field! Again love his people arms, legs hands, feet..Body??!!
