A Perfect Sized Name


We had no idea when we named Leo that his name would be such a perfect length for learning to write. We really planned that well didn’t we? I’m happy to report that Leo knows how to write his name and he actually has for some time. You can see from this photo how they do it—the teacher writes the child’s name and the child writes the letters below it (notice in the top left hand corner the teacher's note: “wrote independently”). He doesn’t need the modeling anymore though. He can totally do it himself. I am so proud!

Yay Leo!

(I knew someone who deliberately named her kid a short name (Amy) so she wouldn't have much trouble learning to write it. I judge her; way to keep those expectations low.)
