Pencil Grip

Yesterday, while Collin was busy coloring, I happened to glance down and notice he had switched from {cave man grip} to quite a decent pencil grip! I have to be honest, the teacher in me was overflowing with pride. :)


On a different note, Collin cracked me up last night. When Travis gets home from school and we hear him at the door, Collin usually jumps up and runs to greet him, excitedly shouting "Dadas!" along the way. Well, Trav's brother, Marcus, has been staying with us since last Wednesday and Collin says his name perfectly. Probably better than any other word he can say. Well, last night when I heard Travis at the door, I turned to Collin and said "Oh! Who's at the door?!", expecting the usual routine. His eyes lit up as he jumped off the couch and yelled, "Marcus, Marcus!!", running at full speed to the door. I died. It looks like you've been replaced, Trav.

He's a franklin firebird in the making with that pencil grip... and I love that he's doing a thumbs up too!

I love that you were proud of your son holding his pencil the right way! Way to go Collin!
