Maren is my bright little star! She is learning her letters so quickly. This past week she finally wrote her name (a little help with the N) and I couldn't be more proud! For her birthday, I bought her a Kumon Uppercase Letters workbook, which has been very helpful and fun. A long time ago, we got into the habit of singing,"M A R E N...that spells Maren" to the tune of "Frere Jacques." We tried doing the same to the tune of "Bingo," but it never stuck. Anyway, singing your child's name to the tune of a song works wonders. Maren could tell you how to spell her name since she was two.

| The first letters Maren learned to write were M O and Q. So I get plenty of cute little notes with MOM written all over them. |
On another note, we love Megamind. So many good quotes (and good music). Today Maren and I went on a walk/tricycle ride and she was driving like a maniac. I told her she was nuts. She replied, "Oh Minion, you're such a pill."
