Due to a crazy week that involved a bus accident, a writers’ conference, and the end of the school year, I am sharing a guest post. My 7-year-old son wrote up this list because he is interested in typing on the computer and writing.
As a writer myself, I am thrilled to present his first published work below. He was thrilled to hear he’d be published on the blog.
You should know that he came up with the title, headings, and lists himself. He even includes a few parenthetical notes. Seriously, he’s the cutest.
I’ll be back next week as usual.

Good job Wes! I will show them to Hope 🙂

Thanks Wesley for so many wonderful suggestions! I will look forward to doing some of these with my grandson!
I hope he enjoys it! Thanks for reading.
Awesome Wild Wild Wes! I’m going to show them to Naomi. And thanks for posting Tracy!
YAY! So far, so good. He’s been having a good summer so far, with only limited “I’m bored” complaints.
I wish I had time off to try some things on this list. Great job Wes!
🙂 When you do get some time, make sure you revisit the list.
