Name writing

One of Addie's favorite things to do is arts and crafts. She has an entire corner of our pantry devoted to her arts and crafts supplies. When I hear her say I want to do arts and crafts I usually cringe because that means a HUGE mess all over my kitchen. Lately though she is actually starting to be much neater so the arts and crafts projects are happening much more frequently. She is also always full of surprises for me. I have been asking her to write her name for me and she always starts it than gets distracted and moves onto something else. The other day while she was doing her "arts and crafts" she says mommy come look I cringe again thinking what mess am I about to see when I see this.
Mommy I wrote my name. I couldn't believe it! She wrote her name all by herself. I know this might not seem like much to you, but for a former teacher I get really excited about all these type things. We worked on correcting the d's to face the right way and next time her name looked like this.
She also did a little drawing of her family below her name as well!
