Madeleine and I have this game, she says a name and I write it for her. She loves it and will play it for 30 minutes at a time. She asks for the same names over and over. Tonight while I was cooking dinner, she was bored and I needed to distract her. I gave her some paper and a pen and told her to write. She kept calling out names and then "writing" on the paper.
I went over to check on her and this is what I found (along with 2 more similar pages). The amazing thing is that it actually looks pretty close to normal writing. When she draws, she makes big loopy lines all over the page. But these are nice little compact lines that are grouped together like words. That seems pretty darn good for a 2 1/2 year old. She has the concept down, now I just need to teach her how to make a few letters.
