Gedalya's Place in the Sun

My kids have very defined strengths. Zusha is artistic and creative. He has a neat handwriting and loves to write. Gedalya is athletic and outgoing. He is a risk-taker and will try just about anything. He also reads fluently in English and knows the Alef Bais since 18 months old.
But Gedalya does NOT have a neat handwriting. He is an excellent speller, but when he writes something, it is unrecognizable. And that makes him feel bad.
That is, it made him feel bad... until he discovered a way of writing where his handwriting didn't matter!

Gedalya had just turned four when he wrote these.

This one is a little funny, but I guess I have a funny kid! What is it?
Zusha's what? "Zusha's pie." LOL! I have no idea. Zusha wasn't eating pie at the time. We didn't even have any pie in the house! He wrote it in my computer's log-in screen. Look how creative he is- couldn't put a space, so he substituted an = sign. And he even got the apostrophe right! (Apostrophe, comma... he's four, still time to learn.) No child of mine will abuse apostrophes, I will make sure of that!

And of course, abstract photography is a longstanding talent of his!
