Lydia wrapped this present for a friend of Allison, and then created this tag by writing her "name" on a piece of paper. She did this all by herself and was very proud of it. So was I. I love seeing the prewriting stuff coming out in my kids. She really has a good grasp of some fundamental print concepts! Left to right, all the letters in a line, and most of those marks are actual letters. And she has received no instruction at all, this is just natural print development in action folks. Isn’t it cute???

How sweet!
D has been doing the same thing, and I love to see it, too!
I love it! My favorite is the E. It’s so funny to me to see kids make a squarish C shape and then just fill it with lines till they get to the bottom. Riley has finally learned there are really only three in an E, but still does the same thing with drawing cats and dogs and other things with four legs – just making lines till she gets to the end and you end up with a 12-legged cow.
