What's in a name?


I realize that for most of you, the picture above is jibberish. But, to this mommy, it's a treasure. This is Kallie's very first attempt at writing her name all by herself. She's known how to verbally spell it for months now. I suppose that's one benefit of those decorative letters hanging on her wall above her bed. But, just today, we started working on how to write a K. The K above isn't her best K of the day, the A is a little strange, and the L's require some imagination--but SHE DID IT! All by herself!

YAY KALLIE! I saved Kierra's first time writing her name all by herself too! It looks very much like Kallie's does...but I think as Mommy's we can read it perfectly! :)
And I can defiantly see the K A L L I E there!

Good Job to Kallie and you! That takes a lot of work on both your parts...Kallie for learning, and you on the teaching. Three cheers for the ABC's!!!

So great! My son knows all his letters and how to spell his name, but isn't even close to being able to write it. He isn't even very interested in trying. I'm sure I will save his first attempt, too!

That is so cute- it is so neat to see children growing up. She will love to see one day that you were so proud, you shared with us.
