He has even started writing his autobiography :-) It is so adorable, misspellings and all! Although he is a bit young for a commonplace, I went ahead and got him a handful of special notebooks yesterday to begin copying into since he appears to enjoy writing. Hopefully these will work themselves into permanence!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12595896300637163959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027434801996805885.post-41989978569318097132015-02-11T12:45:02.461-08:002015-02-11T12:45:02.461-08:00Thanks for stopping by, Dawn. :)Thanks for stopping by, Dawn. :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273301456471935137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027434801996805885.post-14682313075973288932015-02-11T12:44:28.729-08:002015-02-11T12:44:28.729-08:00Keeping does improve penmanship!
