Proud Mama!

A couple days ago, Summer was drawing on a notepad and out of nowhere, made an "S". On purpose. Perfectly. It looked like I drew it! She knows her alphabet and knows the names of most letters, but actually drawing one is a brand new skill.

This morning while Joe and I and the girls were sitting at the table, I gave Summer a notebook and pen so she could show her Daddy her new skill. She drew a few S's, and then I decided to see what else she could do. I drew out her name, and explained each letter. She attempted to draw the letters underneath, but of course having just turned three, she doesn't understand how to go about drawing letters. I drew out a dotted version of her name, showed her how to trace, and she went to town. That kid has some awesome motor skills!



After she did that, I drew out some more words and she was eager to trace those as well. She made my parents this to give them when we go over to their house for dinner later:



I'm so proud of her. She wants to learn and try things, and I am happy to fill her brain with as much knowledge as she can stand!

That's awesome!

She's doing great! I started out with Justin the same way, dotting out the words for him. It really helped him learn to write the letters on his own!

Seriously incredible. Autumn's only been writing decently since she was 4...so that is pretty awesome motor skills!

Way to go, Summer!
