Our little artist

Amy's fine motor skills just get better and better, it's so neat to watch. She's been drawing people with faces, arms, legs, hair - the works, since July - here is the first one I saw her do.

She also recently mostly mastered writing her name - wow!! For Valentine's Day, Amy signed "A" on all her friends' cards, and I filled in the m and y. Now she can do it on her own. I'll have to get a photo of that soon. She sometimes writes in really gigantic letters like a lot of kids do, but she can also do 'regular' size too.

She really enjoys drawing and can truly focus on it when she wants to. Every afternoon when we pick Reed up at his classroom, Amy finds a million things she wants to work on, since they've got lots of crafts things sitting out. She is anxious to move over to the "big kids" side of school, which won't happen until fall. My best girl is ready for it.
