I think this will be Picture week

Even though the last post had no picture.  But "picture" was in the title, so close enough.

This next installment is a series of pictures I like to call "Thank You Kindergarten".
Or I suppose I could go with "Let's practice letters".
Or my personal favorite "If you want to try and pass blame to someone else, don't make it quite so obvious that you did it yourself".

You see, my cute little Dallin (#5, Mr Fire Hydrant) is absolutely loving Kindergarten.  I am dealing with that ok considering how very much I love teaching this age at home like I did with my others.  The good news is that I was still the one who taught him to read, so I have that important card tucked away in my own hand.

Anyway.

One of his favorite things now is writing.  This child did not want to write for me at all over the past year.  Occasionally he'd find an obsession with a particular letter and write it over and over and over, but he rarely wanted to write words, and though he knew how to spell it, he didn't want to write his name either.

Well my friends, all that has changed.  It's amazing what a pen can inspire.
It started out small enough, on the inside of the closet trim.

Then for good measure, a nice big D by the light switch.

A beautifully formed A also in the closet.

The he decided to go for it.
To really just put it out there.

A mural of his name...over and over....

To give you an idea of the size he went for, check this out.  Click on this picture for a better view.  That green chair is a child size chair, the letters dwarf it.  All. Over. The. Room.

So, what have we learned today?
Dallin needs help with his capital N's still.  He keeps writing them backward.

Also, I need to hide the pens.
And probably repaint this bedroom.
But hey, at least we know whose room this is.
