"Ahh Shucks" by Drew

Hi, my name is Drew. Thats D-R-E-W and my last name is P-L-A-T-T-N-E-R. I like helping my dad. Last week, was it last week? "Mom, when did I help dad with the corn?" Yes, last week, my dad brought corn from the farm. At first, I didnt know what to do with it. I asked my dad and he told me that we were going to SHUCK the corn, I think its called Shuck, wait, let me ask my mom. "Mom, what is it called when you take the green stuff off the corn." yea, Shuck. I will tell you how. First, you take the corn. Second, you pull off the top. Third, you pull off all the green. Fourth, you take off all the silks. I think that is spelled S-I-L-K-S. And then, you put it on the plate. My brother kind of helped, but he doesnt do it good like me. He is more little than me. I am bigger. I like cleaning corn and I like eating corn. I think you can eat corn in Illinois at Grandma's house. You can do everything at Grandma's house. I have 2 grandmas. I think that is all. All is spelled A-L-L. "Mom, is that all?" Yes, thats all.

P.S. - The other week, Jon and Amy Gerst updated their blog from the perspective of their newly adopted twins. I thought it was a great idea. What a great way to capture your perceptions of your kids at a particular time in their lives. So, I thought I would give it a try from our kids perspective. As I have mentioned here before, one of this blogs main purposes is to be a journal of our experiences for our family. Maybe I will try to do it periodically to capture their changes and development.
