A couple weeks ago Charlotte wrote her own name for the first time. We were signing in at preschool, like we always do. There is usually a scribble/writing sheet for the kids right next to the parent sign in sheet. (After Charlotte had proudly written her name, I realized that the potluck sign up sheet had been put in the same place...oh well).
Of course, she learned to write her name gradually, but it felt like it was all at once. In November, Nova showed her letters using Popsicle sticks. A few months later Charlotte made the document below, all her own creation. Circles, lines and loops combine with A, N, H and S. Proudly displayed on the fridge, the document was exposed to a little bacon grease.
In our family, when a child can write his or her own name in a small space, it is time to get his or her own library card! Charlotte was VERY excited. Our library has several designs. She chose the arts themed card.
And checked out her first books!
