47/365


this girl is a tough one.  a tough one to teach.  a tough one to help.  a tough one in general.  she likes to do things herself.  and if it isn't her way, life. is. over.  i've tried hard to teach her how to write her letters and her being left-handed has made it challenging for sure, but she prefers to do it all on her own.  she knows better than me.  and her way is always better.  so i let her.  i refuse to fight over learning with my child.  so i lead by example and encourage.  that's how we make it through.  i make sure she sees letters or sees me write letters myself.  i give her games to play with letters, but gone are the days of me sitting down with her to show her how to write.  

she gets pretty serious and proud when she writes.  and i want her to be like that. 
at least she holds her pencil right.
