We had parent teacher conferences tonight. It is always interesting to go talk to Amelia's teachers. You never know what they are going to say. Amelia is super creative. Like so creative that it is actually a problem. Here is a perfect example. She loves to make up stories and illustrate them, she also likes to make up stories and tell them to people. The other day at school there was a sub. Amelia walked into class, dropped her backpack down and said, "wow I am worn out, that is a long walk!" Well at our school you are not allowed to walk, you either have to take the bus or be dropped off by your parent. Any way....The teacher asked where do you live that you are allowed to walk to school? Amelia said, "No I am supposed to ride the bus, but these two boys threw me out the window and I had to walk the rest of the way." The sub then sent her to the office to talk to the principle because she was worried and thought the principle should talk to the boys and the bus driver. Luckily the principle realized the story was not true. Here is what makes me upset, she didn't get into any trouble for telling this huge lie, they just laughed and said oh Amelia you are too funny! Ummmm not funny!!! She had the sub completely freaked out.
Anyone have any ideas of things we could use as a creative outlet? Apparently Ballet isn't cutting it!
Vacation Time!

That is a tough one, I have a nephew kind of like that. Have you tried giving her a special book for her stories? Tell her that the stories can only go in the book then find something neat to do with her and/or the book if she sticks to the book rather than freaking out super gullible subs. Or, find a place where they do creative writing for kids. I don't know.
That is hilarious...and upsetting. But you know you have to laugh. Someday she will be able to use those creative ideas.
