Anthony Writes His Name

Copying an Example · By Himself            

This week, Anthony had shown a sudden (but still slight) interest in writing. The other day he wrote his name in Japanese all by himself, so yesterday, I thought I'd see whether he was interested in learning to write it in English. I wrote a sample, and he copied it a few times (the left of the image above), and then we covered all the examples and he gave it a try by himself.

Then we got out a much larger piece of paper, and tried a few more, adding his last name to the mix...


More Practice

Finally, a bit of art from earlier in the week that in one sense is not nearly as advanced as some that he's done lately, but it shows a snapshot of action in a way I've never seen him draw before:


Deka-Ranger “Beaming” a Bad Person

I take it that the “Deka-Ranger” is on the left. I'm not sure what one is, but I believe it's some kind of Power Ranger super hero thing, popular among preschool boys.


One comment so far...

Well, I’d be surprised if it was a deka-ranger — that was about three years ago, with Magiranger, Boukenger, and the current Geki-ranger intervening (the knowledge you get with having three boys).

Please mention what part of the world you're writing from, if you don't mind. It's always interesting to see where people are visiting from.

IMPORTANT:I'm mostly retired, so I don't check comments often anymore, sorry.
