What do ya know?

This morning, as I was putting up a post on Princess of the One True King *hint, hint*  Samuel saw me typing.

 And he said: "May I write?"

 I said "sure, hon."

He said, "No. On the computer."

He must have seen my confused look. None of the other kids ever asked to type on any computer before...

Sam responded to my confusion with a clarification: "I don't mean with pencils and stuff. I wanted to type!"

"Oh, Okay". I said. 

So I opened a post to write this. and here is Sam's typing which took him about ____  minutes to write.


Samuel Reid Wachter

This is Sam. KK is teaching me to type.

After this lesson, Samuel decided to write a word all on his own:

Mama

Nana

Than

Ellie

Pa

Aedan

Emma Rose

Gussie

And Sam also wanted to add his Praying Mantis's name:

Gardenia

Good Job, Sam!
