Drawing and Writing

These are the letters H-O-T. It is his favorite word to spell. The letters are not in the correct order on the paper, but he had written it in the correct order, H, O, then T.


Griffin tried to spell his name. He was able to write the letters G, I, F, F, and I. I wrote the letters r and n to complete his name.


He was able to write the uppercase A here.


This is, according to him, an egg with a face.


This is the letter H. It's one of his favorite letters to write.


This is a ladder.


This is a sun.


This is a twister.


This is a face with hair.


This is his daddy because he says his daddy has lots of hair on the face.


This is a balloon.


This is a lollipop.


He spelled OFF.


He spelled TO.


This is a letter C.


This is a crab claw.


This is a letter V.


This is a letter G.


He drew a fish then colored it black.


Griffin loves doodling what he calls a "blakala" whether on his megasketcher, whiteboard, chalkboard or paper. However, he's lazy when it comes to drawing definite shapes or writing the alphabet. I don't know if his being left-handed has something to do with this.

When I ask him to draw a shape or write a letter, he usually says, "You draw it." or "You write it." He can draw some shapes or objects but he only does it if he's in the mood. It's the same when I ask him to practice or try writing the letters he does not know yet.

Recently when I ask him to try writing letters, he says, "when I'm tall already." He can write some letters like A, C, E, F, G, H, I, L, O, Q, T, V. Sometimes he tries writing the letters B, J, and N. The letters he's confident in writing are the letters H, I, O, T, F.

I can't get him to practice writing or drawing because, as in everything he does, you can't force him to do it. I guess, in his own time, he'll learn to write all the letters of the alphabet, probably when he starts going to school next school year.
