His letters are nearly uniform in size! What a steady hand!
ReplyDeleteDanny, I was just recently thinking about your nice handwriting that you had when you were 5 and 3/4. We still read the copy of Bears in the Night that you gave me for my 5th birthday, and you wrote a very nice inscription inside the front cover.
DeleteGreat idea, I have some avid book writers in this house and it bothers me how much paper we go through, this is such a clever way to keep all happy, going to try it out now!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Genevieve, I am enjoying your blog so much!
