Mother's Day Gift, 2009

Megan took her first steps on Mother's day 2007. We were totally excited. She hadn't been mobile at all at that point, even though she was over a year old. She was a proficient walker by Father's day a month later.

This year she gave me a pretty good present, too. She's been interested in letters for a long time--probably since she was about 18 months old. She knows all of her letters and can even read some words. Her latest thing is trying to write letters. She impressed me yesterday by writing the letter M on Mother's Day cards for all her grandmas without any help. This morning she wrote MOM on my card with no help other than Todd telling her what letters are in the word.

What better gift for a proud mommy who happens to also be a teacher!
