Instead of airing some kind of a problem, I thought I'd share a joy:  Without
any coaching from me (or anyone else as far as I can tell) my daughter (age 3
1/2) wrote (printed) her name!  I was really thrilled!  Anne has seemed to
develope in fits and starts.  It seems as though she goes through several
months of initiating a lot of really new things and then goes through an
equally long period of a "dormant" stage during which she and I get a chance
to adjust to the changes.  I feel that a new door has just opened for her (and
for me).  The teacher in me is quite excited!

I just wanted to share this joy with you people who have been quite a support
to me in my single-parenthood.  Thank you.
