Hannah learns to write H!

Hannah has been much more hesitant than Grace to learn!  It is so hard NOT to compare the two girls, especially since Grace is an OVER ACHIEVER and WAY BEYOND HER YEARS!  Poor Hannah!  She is a really smart cookie, but she doesn’t get much credit because of her sister’s talents.  BUT we have made a break through.  She wants to read like Grace and has now identified every initial letter from our names – M for Mommy, D for Daddy, G for Grace, H for Hannah, J for Josiah and N for Nanna!  She knows a few others as well!  She is so proud of herself and RUNS to show me the letters that she finds in books!  I LOVE IT!  What a smartie! 

Last week, she was writing on a mirror down in the school room with her special window markers while Grace and I were working.  She started writing Hs – “Down, down, across!”  She kept repeating it over and over out loud as she wrote each stroke!  Just ADORABLE!  She is so proud of herself for being able to make Hs… the first letter in her name.  Now she is marking everything with an H.  I need to make doubly sure that she does NOT write on walls, books, etc. to mark them with her sign! 

Here is the proof… can you see the pride in her smile?!
