Learning Letters

Charlie and I have been working on a lot of skills for the last few months... Among them are writing the letters in his name, and recognizing his name on sight. I usually hold his hand while he is writing so that I can help guide it if he is getting off course. One day at preschool, about a month ago, while I was doing this I realized that I didn’t have to guide it at all. When we got home I gave him a piece of paper and a crayon, and asked him to write his name. I had to prompt him to remember the letter order, but other than that – this was his work! He got so excited that I was so excited, I think he wrote his name more than 20 times that day. :)

Oh - and thank you Daja for the "rock" crayons for Christmas... they have totally helped Charlie with his crayon/pencil hold. Without them I don't think he would be doing this yet!
