Love Bug Learning to Write
Love Bug is eager to learn.
Wanting to read.
Like her big brother.
She has been learning to write words.
Not only the traditional way.
Many of us were taught.
But,
I call it-- the computer way.
One day, a couple of weeks ago.
She wanted to write on Word Geek's laptop.
Apparently, she sees us write on the computers enough.
I wrote words on note cards for her.
It was hard at first, for her.
Because the keys on a computer are upper case letters.
And this mama wrote lower case letters.
So I wrote both the upper and lower case letters down for each word,
on one note card.
But, still a problem.
They didn't look right on the screen.
They were ALL lower case letters.
Turning the "caps lock" on fixed that problem though.
And made it super easy for her to write many words...
Butterfly.
Rhino.
Scooby Doo.
Family member's names.
And many more that I can't think of at the moment.
Love Bug recently discovered You Tube.
There is a post for another day!!
Anyhow, I wrote YOU TUBE on a note card.
Thinking she would write it in the Google search bar.
Like what she's done in the past.
But, instead she wrote it in the address bar.
You know, where you put a web address...
Although, a little off with too many "W's".
I thought she did quite nice.
For me not teaching her this:

Something I'm thinking she may have picked up from big bro, Lizard Man.
