Mad Skills

I picked up Emily from Nanny's house today and discovered that she had done some very interesting artwork in one of her coloring books. Mimi and Papa (and various other family members) have worked with her on practicing her letters. She's getting very good - but writing in a straight line is sometimes a challenge. She knows what orders the letters go in, but tends to run out of room on the page. She then squeezes the extra letters wherever they'll fit. Her favorite is the letter M. When she writes it, she says "Up the mountain, down the mountain, up the mountain, down the mountain." The Y is just "Down the mountain, up the mountain, and give him a tail." This is an excellent example of her handiwork. The girl's got mad skills!
