Hadley Writes Her Name

Sometime shortly after school started, Hadley was able to write her name properly! It actually brought me to tears. It strange how the littlest things will do that to me, but this was very exciting for us because she hasn't been the most thrilled about her long days in school and writing her name correctly was not her priority. She previously wrote her name in all capitals. She seems to get rewards from the "treasure box" nearly everyday for good behavior, this week she brought home some small trinkets and a purse, and she's better about tolerating her day at school, but it is not her first love. She hates having to sit in her seat all day, as she tells me frequently. On the learning front, she's also reading short words like cat and everything that rhymes with it and sit and the words that rhyme with it, you get the picture. So yeah, just wanted to share before it got too late. Can't really sing the praises of name-writing once she's ten. This photo is truly her first successful completion of writing it. I ran to get the camera immediately once I saw it on paper.
