3 1/2 really makes a difference!

It's so amazing to see how Gigi is changing. She continues to impress us everyday with how well she is reading and you can now see a definite change in her handwriting.  She has much more hand control now and even though her coloring is still mostly scribbling she is very creative in her scribbling. She knows what she is drawing whether or not it ends up looking like it does in her mind or the way she describes it!

Tonight for her writing practice I decided to use her preschool curriculum workbook. The last time she did any pages was in May. She wasn't quite ready for it then. But she definitely is now!  Tonight, after doing 22 pages I had to be "mean" and say no more for now! I expected to do 2 or 3 sheets but she wanted to keep going!  She loved it. She almost doesn't need my help at all. With the exception of a few words here and there she even reads the instructions at the top of each page all by herself.  It was neat to compare her writing from May to now.  There are pages where you needed to circle certain pictures and in the pages from May her circles are very shaky and wobbly compared to now where they are smooth...still messy but the line is smooth!  I can't imagine what I will be saying in March when she turns 4!  But I do hope that doesn't come too soon because I am loving 3 1/2!  Especially all the silly things she says now!!!
