Progress

Noah has been so eager to learn his letters, since starting preschool last month. Before this I couldn't get him interested in it - no matter how hard I tried. He knew the ABC song, but that was about the extent of his knowledge. But, with the start of school came a new thirst for knowledge. He has homework every week that he loves to work on with his Dad (not so much with Mom). He surprised me during our Sunbeam Class on Sunday, when he announced he was done with his project, I told him I'd write his name on it in a second, but then he quickly informed me that he could do it by himself and he actually did.

Is it perfect? No. Would most people know what he was trying to do, or what it said? Probably not. But to me it is major Progress. Three of the letters are recognizable , but not in the right order. However, since I am his parent I get it - if you start with the "N" and go in a counter clockwise circle you will see a very clear "O", a good attempt at an "a", and a clear"H."

I'm so excited that he is finally trying to write and is starting to at least recognize what letters go in his name. He has also started asking what letters words start with. Other often repeated questions in our house are "What day is it?" and "What time is it?"

I am loving this new phase of learning.
