The sisters were in bed so it was a good time to do some drawing. Markers and paper came out and Maia asked if she could write her name. Great, I thought. I’ve been wanting to work on her letters with her. I agreed that her name would be a good thing to write and turned to get something else. When I turned back around Maia showed me this almost complete:

She had the "M A" done when I looked at her, she then completed the "I A" while I watched.

Her name. She had the first two letters done, then she finished the “I” and the last “A” while I watched. I only had to remind her to cross her “A’s”. I was floored.

The balloons are for her friends, in all of their favorite colors.

Go go writing girl!

She loves them, uses them as her babies, names them (which is new) and just wants them with her always. Especially if they happen to be orange.

Maia has also started drawing pictures of her world. The other day she drew some big slide looking things and told me it was Maia at the playground. Great. Then she drew her first object that looked like the actual thing she wanted it to be.

An orange balloon. Complete with string to keep it from blowing away.

Today, she drew an entire family of orange balloons. At least we don’t have to worry about her ability to draw a circle anymore…
