Dude can write!

I am amazed constantly how quickly Tristan picks things up.  I think it's pretty impressive for a two year old to be able to read, and spell as well as he does!  But now he's added another thing to the list... he can write.

We've been working on writing a little bit this summer but nothing real serious.  His favorite thing to draw is an O, and then he got the hang of other letters quickly after.  During the morning he was really interested in how to write his name, so I wrote it out a few times and then had him trace over what I did.  He did fairly well, but didn't seem that interested in it after he'd done it.  I tried having him write it out without tracing it and he would get the T done and say, "Momma, you do it." After that, we just had fun, scribbling and coloring things.  He really likes connect the dot things too...

After nap time he wanted to draw some more so I set him up with his stuff and Lucy was still asleep so I was just hanging out next with him not really paying attention, and then he said, "Look Momma!"  And BAM there it was.  He wrote his name out, and I think he did a great job!  Momma is so proud of you little Dude!

Pleased with himself
