Most of Abby's little friends from the gym and church started school/preschool this year. Abby really wanted to go too, but since she's only 3, she won't even go into preschool until next year. In order to help ease her disappointment a bit, Abby and I have been spending some one-on-one time each day doing our own "preschool" (For some reason she calls it "high school.") We sit on the kitchen table and so far have been practicing writing her letters. In just three weeks she has learned how to write all of her capital letters (some are upside down or backward at times, but oh well, she's only 3!!) Here is a little sampling of her alphabet...
She wrote all of these letters all by herself and even signed her fist and last name at the bottom. Next up...writing numbers and learning her lower-case letters!

Way to go, Abby!
That is actually very impressive! You're such a good mom. I should spend more time with Reese like that. We started a pre-school co-op with some friends, but it's only one day a week. I like the idea of setting time aside at home like that though.
Great job Abby! Katie does really well writing letters and her name, but lacks the concentration to write it all in one sitting. That is impressive and, of course, a sign of GREAT parenting.
Abby really cannot go in preschool? Katie is younger than Abby and started preschool yesterday. Oh well, your one on one parenting is perfect for her, as she definitely learns well that way.
wow, that is super impressive. way to be!!
Good job Abby! That is why Nate is going to preschool, and not relying on me :) Oh, and a heads up, some preschools will require them to write their whole names before they can do nick names. Too bad if your name is Nathaniel Markham. I think it'll take him all year just to write it out once. :) Poor kid.
Impressive. Where do I pick up a ballot to vote 'Dadra Call for Mom of the Year'? :)
Some of my students don't write that well! :)
She really is a lot farther ahead then I would say most 3 year olds. Very impressive. I don't think Matthew can do that yet this is his second year of preschool. Way to go for making that a priority.
Brilliant Grand-daughter and a great Mom!
Nice job Abby. I'm very very impressed.
