Early Stages of Writing

A few weeks ago Joshua finally understood that a pen can be used for more than something to chew on. So as he entered this first stage of developing writing I got him some things to help encourage his new interest. He now has his own coloring book and chubby little crayons as well as sidewalk chalk. I also had purchased him a small doodle pro (magnetic writing board) for his long ride in the car to Traverse City a couple weeks ago which was a huge hit. After years of studying about all the developmental things that occur with young children it's really amazing to see things develop with my own child.
