Signature Signs

I walked into the bathroom and found this on the corner of my bathtub.

That's Janney's signature, twice, on my bathtub - written in those crayons that are designed for bathtime fun.  A few days ago, Janney and Asher had scribbled in the tub during a bath, so I picked up the lose crayon and wrote Janney's name. She saw it in the morning, but then someone washed up the scribbles. Tonight, she has copied me - by writing her own name on the same spot I had.

I can't tell you how exciting this is. I recognize that she's got the J backwards, and she's got an o instead of an e - she does know it's an e that goes there, she's just not yet capable of making that shape - but all this is so exciting. This week I have written Janney's name on a few papers - drawing she's made etc, and she's used another coloured pencil to draw her name on top of the name I drew.  This however, is completely without a guide. This is completely her own efforts.  I don't want to wash it off. Fortunately I've got this blog to record this major achievement and keep it for her for when she's a grown woman.

Sombra, How cool that Janney is learning new things. I will tell you a secret that you probably already know... but part of the fun of homeschooling is watching light bulbs come on in our kids brains. Even if the public school was perfect, I don't know that I would want to miss out on those moments.

That IS cool! Makes me want to go out and get some of those neat crayons, too! Our Lord knows how to touch our heartstrings. Bless His Holy Name!!!
