Smarty Pants!

Grace loves writing her letters.  So far she hasn’t intentionally written a word on her own, not even her own name.  However, a little while ago she called me into the playroom saying, “Mommy, I wrote cat!”  I got up to see and the first time it said A – backwards C – T.  I told her how great it was that she got all the letters.  I showed her the correct way to write it.  She erased the board and then went on to play with something else.  Maybe 30 minutes later she asked me to come look.  When I walked in, she had written cat all on her own!  I took a picture of her with her big accomplishment.  Her very first on-her-own word!
