Voice

I was told today that my seven-year-old's writing has it's own wonderful, distinctive voice. (This was from his teacher, who said she often uses his work as an example for the rest of his second grade class.) While flattered (by proxy), I'm ashamed to admit that I hadn't really noticed — but then, I only see his writing in homework, in short bursts of answered questions rather than stories or journals or imagination. Perhaps this is a side I'll see when classwork is sent home.
