Writing and Other Funny Things

Will has shown more interest in writing lately and I love to watch him!  Here are some of the great things you can do when you write:

 - If you try to write a "W" but make an "M" instead all you have to do is turn the paper upside down.
 - The same is true for "p", "b", and "d" (even if the letter is in the middle of a word)!
 - If you run out of room for the rest of the word, just go to any other spot on the paper (or even another page!).
 - Letters in the same word can be any size
 - Capital letters can pop up anywhere
 - Sometimes "E" needs an extra line

Will's only rule is that all letters must be perfect.  He is not satisfied unless he feels like his letter is just right, and since fine motor skills aren't his strong suit he gets frustrated with himself.  I have always praised him for his attempts, but he has always recognized if his letter doesn't look perfect.  He is getting much better about that than he used to be though - he's more willing to practice!
