Andrew's First Fourth Grade Narrative

While at A's parent/teacher conference last week, his teacher told us that he was writing the most beautiful narrative about Jaxson's adoption.

The Best Day Ever

             I remember the day my mom and dad told me about some great news.  First, my mom and dad called Olivia and I upstairs and said they needed to tell us something.  I plopped myself down on a stool and then they said, "We are getting a baby!"  I got so excited that I got up and danced.

             After they told us, we all went to Babies R Us.  I bought him a yellow shirt with a sailboat and a sleeper with a dog on the back.

             A few weeks later, my mom and dad went to Columbia, Missouri to see Jaxson and bring him home.  My cousins babysat us while they were gone.  We played lots of games and we went to grandma and grandpa's house too.  My other grandma and grandpa came too.

             On Fun Day, grandpa told me they were coming home.  When we got home from school Olivia and I raced to the door, and I beat her.   When I opened the door and I saw him, he was so cute, and he was wearing the shirt with the sailboat that I bought him.  Then, I held him and gave him his bottle.  I also snuggled him.  Besides me, he is the best brother in the world.  Now he is even more cute than before and even more snugly.  I always knew my family was awesome but now I know a family of five is AMAZING!

This is such a treasure!
