Cursive, Typing... Oh My!

Emily has been pushing herself lately, inspite of Mommy's laid back approach to 'not rush anything.' She has insisted on learning cursive writing and now makes sure it is included daily in her schooling and free time. She has also started typing lessons. This past week she talked Mommy into letting her try a lesson. Next thing Mommy realized was that Emily had completed half of all of the lessons. With ease, Mommy was able to convince Emily to save some of the lessons for another day. :-) Sure enough, the next few days were filled with begging to continue the lessons. We've got one eager little girl on our hands.

Luke... oh Luke... he has decided he wants to practice handwriting too. So, Emily began teaching him how to write his letters. With some pure determination he went from pure scribbles to writing A's, B's, and C's in minutes. He is now practicing on scratch paper and a handwriting workbook. Mommy finds this simply incredible and loves how schooling comes naturally with interest AND the older sibling is quick to jump in and instruct the younger one. It's beautiful to watch.

Have a blessed day everyone!
