And there you have it! Set all the lofty, academic aspirations aside, and Caleb is still just a FOUR YEAR OLD BOY!
But he's also a PERFECTIONIST I am learning. Yesterday he wrote nearly all of his letters (upper and lower case) on his own! I sat there cheering him on and making sure he was holding the pencil the correct way. I didn't much care for how the letters looked, because this was his first time doing them all and I know his small motor skills will develop over time, but Caleb cared. I'd compliment him on a letter and he'd adamantly shake his head and flip the pencil over to use the eraser, as if to say "I can do better!" And he did.
I was amazed.
