While Johanna is parked firmly in the "I hate handwriting camp" Michael really wanted to learn to write his name. I thank Handwriting without tears for the simple instructions; "Start at the top" I never thought it mattered which way a kid wrote as long as they got the letters on the paper but boy what a difference starting at the top makes. Although I still can't used to the strange way they line the paper.

No more inching along the wall

Remember my little wall cling on? Well 4 weeks into skating lessons the kid can move. She can even go backwards.
Michael is having a bit more trouble but he keeps on trying.
