My Little Genius

Yesterday, I helped Jillian make a Valentine for her cousin Emmy. If you have ever read my blog, then you know what a special bond these two have!!! They truly are best friends...and even though Summer and I have forced them on one another since birth, I still feel that they love eachother so much without us pushing it! Anyway, I gave Jillian some of my reject die-cut hearts from school and let her do her thing.

This below is what she created...

Now...where the genius part comes into play. If you enlarge this picture, then you will see how Jillian tried copying what I wrote. The word Emmy is not really recognizable...but it was her first time. She is totally mastering writing her name...and this is mostly THANKS to Ms. Cheryl, her teacher...than to me! Ha! Ms. Cheryl (who is totally wonderful!!!!) has really worked with Jillian and the girl can write her name without even seeing it anymore! I think that is smart for a 3 1/2 year old...but maybe I am just a proud mom! :) The other smart addition to Emmy's Valentine is the 2 stick figures right above the "I Love You" heart. She had me draw the Dale Family and Our Family in stick figures. Then she went to work and came and showed me that she had drawn Mimi and Papaw right underneath! I think she did a great job!!!! So...that is all for my little bragging session...I am just proud of my big girl!!!!!
