We have been working hard on independent writing skills. My son has been doing great with hand over hand assistance. I have been pushing him to write independently. He hates it. We do a lot of repetetive work. He has the number one mastered, and almost has the number two.
Today, he was protesting hard against working on the dry erase board, so I decided to give him a little freedom. He drew a dog (funny looking, but definitely a dog). This is the first time he as actually drawn something. My favorite moment is when he wrote out "mom" on the board. All on his own. I did get a picture of it. It is hard to make out, because he tried writing it once, messed up, and tried again almost on top of the first one. If you look closely, you can make out that it is "mom."
Yeah!!!

These are the special moments that keep us going.
We are having handwriting trouble with my eight year old as well. He is also getting occupational therapy to help. He is learning cursive this year, so I am wondering if that will be easier for him to do. Have a great day.
That is more then wonderful hun! I am more then thrilled for you! Keep up the good work buddy!
That's wonderful! It's sounds like it's a lot of hard work for you both, but very well worth it!
