Lex shocked and amazed me yesterday when
\n he decided to write Happy Birthday on pictures we were making
\n for Caitlin’s birthday party. Lex first decied to draw a
\n picture of a birthday cake with candles. After I wrote “Happy
\n Birthday Caitlin” on the picture Eve was drawing, Lex decided
\n he wanted to write it on his card too. He wrote “HAPE” and was
\n very excited. He asked if he spelled it correctly, and I had to
\n tell him no, but I said it gently and said it was a great try
\n and Caitlin would love it. He got frustrated anyway. For a
\n moment I thought he was done, but then he decided to get
\n another piece of paper and try again. Following my writing, he
\n wrote “Happy” on one side of the paper and “Birthday” on the
\n other. Then he wrote his name on both sides. I was so excited
\n that he was interested in writing and interested in trying
\n again and, AND he knew how to write most of the letters!!! I’ve
\n seen him writing his name a few times, but I didn’t know he
\n knew how to write so many letters! They weren’t all perfect,
\n but it was exciting anyway. Then we made an envelope out of
\n white paper and he wrote Caitlin’s name on it. We folded it up,
\n glued it together and he was very excited to bring it to
\n Caitlin. She smiled :)<\/p>\n

Eve showing

\n Lex so maybe if she did the same thing I’d take a picture of
\n her… it worked! :)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
