I was so excited yesterday when Lex said
he wanted to write letters with me. He never wants to write. We
wrote an A with crayon and then he started looking for the
“magical special eraser to erase the letter.” I explained that
we don’t have crayon erasers and so we switched to pencil.
Check it out, we wrote A, B, C, D, E, and F. I “helped” by very
lightly guiding his elbow. It took awhile (had to get Eve, had
to get bread out of the oven, change a diaper, etc.) but he
stayed interested. He even asked me (several times!) to help
him hold the pencil the right way. I was super excited!
