Last Tuesday Sam and I were making Valentine's Day cards. I casually suggested he sign his name - and he did! The scan is really poor quality - it's hard to see - but here is Sam's first attempt at writing his name. Clicking on the picture will open a larger version that is a little more clear.
When I told him to write his name, he made the line on the lower left. I told him to try again. Above the line is an "S". It's pretty good - parts of it were too faint to see in the scan. In the middle is his "A" - he told himself to draw a circle with a line - and he did! The little scribble on the far right is an "M." He struggles with lowercase M's so he does uppercase - saying to himself, "Up down, up down."
I am a really proud mama!

I've never seen anything so astonishing in my life! He's not quite three years old! I printed off a copy for his scrap book.
I was in the fourth grade before I could write my name.
Wow, that is really good! Did you teach him the circle with a line and up down up down? I would be telling Beckett "come on, draw an 'a'" with no helpful hints whatsoever.
Maybe Sam should tutor Bret.
Samuel James: I hope you have a great birthday next week!! I will be gone, but wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday before I left. Three years old!! Woo hoo! (Pick a train cake for your mommy).
