She's full of surprises
Everyday that I babysit, my youngest, Makenna, draws a picture for the baby to take home with him. She draws her adorable little balloon head, stick legged people. There are usually three people in her drawings. The baby, his mommy and his daddy. Sometimes she'll draw herself in the picture too.
Today she drew the picture then asked how to spell Leslie, the mom's name. I told her the letters one by one and Makenna was able to write them! The E's looked a little spidery with about 10 lines off it instead of 3. But other than that LESLIE was completely legible. 
She was able to write the dad's name too. Who knew?
I was impressed that she knew her letters at 3 but now I'm even more impressed that she can write them without looking at anything. She'll be 3 1/2 in October. It's not something we've been working on yet. 
Apparently, it's something we're going to be starting since she's interested.
Isn't it funny how you work so hard for them to *get* some things and others they just surprise you with?
