Developmental Writing

Yes, these are hieroglyphics, but if you're his mom and you squint, and tilt your head, one of 8OT combos could be interpreted as BOX.

I was letting Thing One scribble on this cardboard box and as I sailed out of the room to do something else I said, "Hey, write BOX on there." He sounded it out all by himself, with no help from me, and when I came back, he'd written BOX. or maybe 8OT, depending on how particular you are. :)
