1000 Word Thursday!

Cheaper Than Therapy
A pictures of my children writing their names for the first time. Both pictures are taken on my chalkboard at work. I think it's funny that Colby didn't care to write his name until the summer he was 4.

Emma wrote her name the summer she was 3. I love her smile. So proud.

the difference in boys & girls, and firstborns vs. the second. she had someone to compete with...colby didn't. but they both were pretty proud to learn!

when natalee's ready to write her name we'll have to come to your classroom to use the chalkboard...we don't have those old-fashioned things over here! :)
