Mr. Smartie Pants

Yesterday, my boys were drawing with crayons.  It is fun to watch Owen's skills with a writing utensil increase and improve.  He drew all sorts of pictures, including a picture of our chicken coop, with a smiling sun.  Then he brought me a paper with "OMM" scrawled across it.

"Look Mom!  I drew your name!"

I have got to say, I was impressed.  We have been working on his letters, mostly trying to learn their sounds.  We have not done much with writing the letters, and I have not even gone near teaching him how to sound words out.  So I asked him if he could draw all the letters.  He sat down with his crayon, and went to work.  He would occasionally ask me what letter came next, but within a few minutes later this is what he had produced:


What a smart kid I have!
