Well, earlier in the school year, he created his first character book. Bee Man, he called it. Bee Man is a superhero who saves the day fighting Bee Evil and his "eeee-vill" ways. I have no idea what inspired Andrew to create this character, but he's very much a huge part of Andrew's life right now. He writes book after book, he takes them to school and reads them in front of this class. He plays Bee-Man on the playground with his sidekicks Bee Evan (Andrew's BFF) and Bee Jai-Dee (Andrew's little sweetie). Except Jai-Dee doesn't want to play Bee Man very often because she wants to play with her girly friends. So, usually it's just Andrew and Evan. Which Andrew doesn't like very much at all. But I explained to him that most girls their age want to play with other little girls....and it's usually jump-rope or hopscotch, not pretending to be super heroes flying around trying to avoid "giant spatulas."
I'm rambling.
Just before Christmas, I told Andrew that we could "publish" one of his books, and that is exactly what we did! He did all the writing and illustrations - which crack me up! I just purchased the first copy and it should be here within a week. So, if any of you out there want your very own copy of Andrew's first published book - just click on the button below to purchase it. He will earn a couple $$ for each book sold, which will help him purchase more book making supplies.....and by book making supplies, I mean candy.
Okay, maybe a mix of candy and book making supplies.
Alright, I'm not gonna lie. I told him he has to save all his Bee Man money to buy me a diamond necklace.
That's another lie.
But he would be super stoked if anyone acually bought his book.
You never know? He could end up being the next J.K. Rowling. And this first edition could be worth a bagrillion dollars someday...
Yes, that's a real number.
....yet again, another lie.
Sorry.
For all the lying.

My daughter does the same thing! She's always bringing me stacks of papers to make a book. I love it. I loved to write when I was her age. And read. Which she keeps saying latey, "I just love to read. I used to only do it b/c I had to, but now I REALLY want to read".
It's so cute
WEIRD!!! My kids do this too!! Craziness dude...I have a whole binder of books my kids have put together.
