William Progression

For those of you who don't know, William's namesake was an avid cross-word puzzle solver. So, when I saw this come home from school, I pounced on it!
William has to write a lot for school. Usually, he just rips through it. I figure 'what the heck' on penmanship. Realistically, in the future, he'll only have to talk into a small mic implanted under the hairline, which will automatically be transformed into electronic data. If nothing changes between then and now, well, he'll be typing and texting. Not much actual writing goes on besides signatures. And the Japanese have special hanko made as a name stamp. It is as legal as a signature. It is required for many transactions. But, I digress...

Notice how nice his penmanship was on this spelling paper. When he studies, he does excellent on spelling. This is first grade stuff. This week's was simple, and had a word twice.
Most kids need new shoes because they've grown out of them. This is the 3rd pair at this size. He just runs them down! Notice the soles, and how the back part is crunched down a bit. Wow.

He is progressing and growing. and growing. :)
