Tonight at IHOP....colin to crayons and WROTE above....not HOH....NOT TRACING.....NOT EVEN ALL THE LETTERS in any weird order....but the WRITE ORDER AND YOU CAN READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks like all the other little boys in his class. HE HAS NEVER EVER EVER even done anything for me but trace it on those practice pages and trace on his magnadoodle..... I have to force to do that too....

I was so excited I brought it home and while butting it gently in my purse he stole Miranda's placemat....and did it again...in the blocks......he did it over and over.....all he has ever done is cribble and draw squisshy circles!!!

I would love to blame the MSB+ but he won't eat his and I have found nothing to hide it in that he will eat.....BUT I WAS SO FLABERGASTED and EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess all the letter flash cards, and chalk tracing and making him do it (for 3+ years),,,,paid off!!

This is the best brag I have had.....also Wed he said and signed 1, 2, 3, & 4 and pointed tot he correct cards FOR HIS TEACHER!!!! He has only said one for me, signs them all but has never got them all correct and he did it WED, THURS (signs only) and today he tried to speak but got "frustrated" and gave up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
