Writing My Name

When Brandt was two, he started preschool three days a week and he stayed in preschool until he went to Kindergarten. He needed it for the socialization and he was learning quite a bit too. It didn't really occur to me to put Campbell in school until this year. She's plenty social and I was already at home, so I just kept her with me. This year she started school two days a week and she really loves it. She is learning her letters, and how to recognize her numbers. She could already count to about 14, but now with very little help she can count to thirty. She could say her ABCs, but now she recognizes some of the letters as well.
I think at almost four Brandt could do all of these things and more because he was learning them at school. I haven't spent as much time as I should have with Campbell working on writing.
This morning while I was getting dressed, I gave her a piece of paper with her name printed on it to see if she could write her name. She traced her letters and then wrote her own name. Here is her work:



Not bad for her first try!
