Imagine this: Jackson likes to draw trains. Surprised!? Didn't think so. :) He made a special drawing for Mimi and Poppy this week to thank them for some special gifts that he has gotten recently. He was very detailed with his drawings - each train has a funnel, wheels, steam and a face - along with a track. On Thomas, he wrote the "1" on it and on James, he "had" to draw the tender and then he put the "5" on the tender - exactly where it's supposed to be. After he drew the "5" he said, "mommy, that kind of looks like an s" - very true. And to my surprise, he agreed to write the names on the drawing. So I was meaning that he should write "to mimi" and "to poppy" but Jackson found this unacceptable. He said he would only write the NAME of the train that was on the drawing. Well, ok then. So I told him the individual letters and he wrote them down to spell out "Thomas" and "James" - but other than that, he wrote it himself! I'm really getting excited that he seems to be finally showing some interest in writing! He was especially excited that the word "Thomas" has an O, A and S in them "just like MY name!" Sweet boy loves Thomas.
