Learning to write

Each day I spend some time with Caitlin doing 'school work.' She is very diligent in her work and is continually impressing me with what she knows. Lately she has taken a great interest in writing out words. She will tell me a word she wants to write out, and then I will spell it for her out loud, and she will write it down.

Here she is learning her numbers with a work book

And here is what she wrote out yesterday. On the left is a birthday card that she made for her friend, Grace (You can click on the picture to make it bigger). On the right is a 'grocery list' that she made (oranges, book, goldfish, banana, block).

I'm sure this is what most 3-year olds are capable of, but I'm her mom, so I think she is a child genius!
