Yesterday, she wrote her name for the first time. Heavy sigh. So sweet.
Of course both she and Grey play-write all the time, making vertical or horizontal marks, circles and scribbles, but this was really her name, with recognizable letters!
She got a coloring sheet as a sort of homework at gymnastics and was told to color it and bring it back next week for a wall display. She took quite a bit of care coloring it, even getting frustrated with me as I asked her a few times to come to the dinner table for dinner. She walked her little self over to me and put her hands out to her sides, "Mom, I need to tell you something. Mom, when you are talking, it is hard for me to color." Lol.
When she finally did finish she told me she wanted her name on it. I asked her if she wanted me to show her how to write it. She did.
So I wrote each letter on a piece of paper to show her, and she then wrote each letter at the bottom of her coloring paper. She was so excited and proud. Me too. Tickled pink. I think she likes her name too.
