So proud...

My son is stubborn....really stubborn. He does not like to do things that he does not want to do. So, when we try to practice something or teach him new things, I have to take advantage of when he's in "the right mood." Thank God for his preschool teachers because he rarely wants to listen to me teach him anything. Given all of this, I get excited when he tells me he wants to write his name, or even try to write his name. For Ken's birthday card, he told me he was going to write his name all by himself....and he did!
Now, I know it's backwards, we're still working on making the D not look like a P, and he goes a little overboard with the lines on the E, but he was quite proud of himself!!
To add to my surprise, he told me he wanted to write on the envelope - he wrote this and I didn't even have to tell him how to spell it. "Dap" was impressed too :)He just continues to surprise me with what a smarty-pants he is (when he decides he wants to be and wants me to know!)
