J - U - L - I - A - N - N - A

Julianna wrote her own name for the first time on Saturday. She worked hard on each letter, and when she finished the last "A" she sat back to look at her accomplishment.

"Oh MY" was all she could say.

Then she hopped down from her chair and scampered off to find her daddy so he could admire her handiwork.


Since then writing her name has become a bit of a hobby! She still needs plenty of prompts as to which letter comes next and asks things like, "ok, what comes after L?"

It's so fun to see her starting to understand a little of the what's happening on the pages of the books that she loves to read!
