...went for tea at my friends house earlier who has got a little DD who will be 4 in january. she is at nursery part time and DS started full time school in sept this year.
they had the pens and paper out and my friend proudly announced that her DD "can write her own name now!" her DD then proceeded to do so, not only accurately but pretty neatly, my face looked like this >>>> she then started drawing underneath her name and drew a recognisable person.
DS can barely even draw a face (as in 2 dots for eyes and a line for a mouth in a circle IYSWIM) let alone a full person and he can't write any letters yet, let alone his name (although he does recognise letters, ie C for cat etc)
and i was just wondering should he be at that level? esp as friends DD is almost a whole year younger? he has recently had his first parents evening and his teachers seem happy with him.
