This year is all about the contests! I am excited to take part in another contest for kid lit writers. Thank you Kaitlyn and Ciara for hosting the Spring Fling Kid Lit Contest. Below is my entry which is 133 words. "Wake Me Up in Spring"
The wind howled. The snow flurried. "It's time," said Bear. "Wake me up in Spring." He stretched his paws high in the air, snuggled up with his favorite "Teddy cat", and listened to some relaxing beach sounds. He closed one eye and then the other. It didn't take long until Bear was out cold. And then he slept...through December's holidays, through January's new year... Through lovey dovey February... and into March. Then finally, one April day... Bear opened one eye. "Is it spring yet, Teddy cat?" His tummy growled, as if to say, "YES!" He crept out of his cave. Blades of grass peeked through the ground. Flowers bloomed and bees buzzed. Snow was a distant memory. Bear's nose twitched, his throat itched. His eyes watered. ACHOOOOOOOO! "Yes," Bear sniffled, "Spring has sprung."

I think Bear and I have something common this season, sneezing!
