My 5 year old is going to be published! She wrote a poem a few weeks ago and it was so sweet I decided to enter it into a poetry contest. Well, we got word today that they are going to publish it in a book of poetry collected from school children across the country. Most of the entries come from older kids I think, but hers was accepted and she couldn't be more proud of herself.

Here's her poem, exactly as she recited it to me and how it will be in the book:

Cold, I don't want to be with you. You are like a block of ice.
Hot, I can't be with you. You are like a burning fire.
Warm, I like to be with you. You are just right.
I want you to cuddle up with me in my bed at night.

Here she is with her letter of acceptance. I'm very proud of my little girl!
