The other night as my husband gave Rachel a bath he gave her the foam letters in her name in the tub and asked her if she could use them to spell her name. She did! So last night I put all 26 letters in the tub and asked her to find the letters for her name and make it. Again, she did, without any trouble at all. Who knew! What really surprised me was that she asked, "Where's the little A, Mommy?" She knows the R is big and the rest of the letters are little, but the foam letters we have are only capital letters. She was looking for a lower case A to come after her R. I couldn't believe it.
She's also started writing her name by tracing dotted line letters. We noticed that the top of her school papers had this on each one, but we figured someone was holding her hand to help her trace the lines. Last night we watched her do it--all by herself!
I guess we've been underestimating our girl!

That is UNBELIEVABLE! Kaden can orally spell his name and can usually find it at school, but that's about the extent so far. I'm so impressed that she's tracing her name too! You're going to have a little reader on your hands soon!
Wow - that's great! I can't say that I'm all that surprised, though - she's very bright, and with you for her mom, I know she'll be a gret reader.
