Cooper learns to write

All of a sudden our boy who is obsessed with reading but has had very little interest in drawing pictures or writing, announced he could write letters! Last week: 'Mummy I can write an 'O' (and drew a kind of wonky O), and "I can do an 'E' - look I just think really hard in my brain and it makes my hand go" and this week wrote his entire name (with a wee bit of help on the 'tail' of the R) which became the first item to make it to the fridge door. We think he's not too bad for not yet 3 1/2! It kind of helps that spelling his name fits perfectly to the 'Mickey mouse song' tune - not that he has heard the real version yet!). We visited a local pre-school and he took this to give to the teacher so she would remember his name, but then decided he would make her another one sometime as he wanted this to come home with him!
