Now I Know My ABC's

This year at Paige's preschool they have been working really hard to learn all of their letters and I am really impressed by how far Paige has come.   It was really only a few months ago, around Christmas I believe, when Paige could't spell her name on her own.  These days she writes her name everywhere!  She has gotton so good in fact that she addressed 22 Valentine's Day cards all on her own, without complaining once.  Of course she only had to write her own name on each but did very well.  She has taken on a really big interest in knowing what words spell, or how to spell them and any chance she gets she likes to look at words and them copy them on her own onto abother piece of paper...without tracing! She asks me to write down various words for her, a favorite are her family members and pets.  She then writes them over and over.  She is so pleased with her writing telling me which word she is writing in lower case and which in upper case and she knows too!  The other morning she asked me to draw a stop sign, so I drew an octagon of course.  Paige then proceeded to add the post and what else?   S..T..O..P..I was floored!  She didn't see it anywhere to copy and she didn't ask me.  I am so proud of her!  Thank you to the YMCA for getting my baby ready for kindergarten!
Below is an example of what she has learned, she only had to ask me how to write 2 or 3 of the letters, the rest was all Paige.
