Mad’s Poem about Coco

Coco


Rosy cheeks flush in the warmth
Her chubby legs move quickly and unevenly
Trying to keep up with her mind
Her head up with determination
Blue eyes shining like jewels
Her dimples flash as she smiles bright like Sirius in the night sky
Though they disappear when you say "good night"
Her cute button nose sits in the middle of her round face
Her short blonde curls bounce as she walks
Her words not always clear, sometimes squished together
Her giggles fill the air as her sister chases her around the well kept yard
She teeters on her feet and falls
Salty tears stream down her face, but stop as soon as they start
She looks and acts an average three year old
You would never guess her disabilities

And neither would she

Your daughter is an amazing writer--I could so picture Coco from her poem. And the sisterly love shines through as well. Would I be correct in guessing she likes english more than algebra? LOL

I am quite touched. she sure does love her little sister.

Lee, actually she LIKES her English TEACHER better. Believe it or not she always scores higher in math than English on all of the standardized tests and gets good grades on the work she turns in, that is what makes the whole algebra drama that much more frustrating. Last year it was the English teacher she didn’t like so much, so we had a similar issue (but not as bad) with English last year.
Thank you Lydia, i just thoughtt was so sweet, i had to share it.
absolutely beautiful. Accurately describes a very much loved, completely adorable little sister! Pass on kudos to Madeline, she's a great writer!

I love it. Something they can both cherish when they are older.

Your daughter must be a wonderful big sister! Beautiful poem. As for the standardized math tests, my son always scores 2 grades above his own on them, and then struggles all year long just to keep up with his own grade level.
