Mary likes to practice her letters. Sometimes she wants to spell out words, but often she wants simply to practice letters.
I find these notes all over the house, sometimes on big sheets of paper, sometimes on tiny cards, usually every day. These cryptic and quirky "missives" always make Chris and me laugh!
That is so funny!! And I'm seriously impressed by her writing ability--amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!! Emma used to do that at Mary's age, and now she writes us (and even the baby) fun notes all the time.
ReplyDeleteShe has seriously good handwriting for her age. Truly. And I think I see a Latin word in there- "notum", of course spelled the ancient way, "notvm".
ReplyDeleteAgnes is the same way!!
ReplyDeleteYes, her handwriting is very good. Maybe it's a boy-girl thing, I don't know, but John wasn't as interested in letters and then had to be taught more what they were. Mary is obsessed with letters, asks me once what a letter looks like, and then she has it.
ReplyDeleteExcept for 'b' and 'd',' which they both switch constantly! :D
She has such great handwriting for her age!!
ReplyDelete'b' and 'd' are tough ones. Emma still gets those mixed up from time to time, especially when tired. But it's apparently common to do that up until about the 2nd grade level.
ReplyDeleteShe seems so determined! I especially notice how she filled in the whole index card and made her letters match the size of the lines - even the bigger one at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteImpressive work!
