My older girls were writing by 3 but he isnt. I have heard boys are slower at motor skills. The only reason I am trying to come up with stuff to teach him is because he wants to do school. Thanks for all the great writing advice. He is hopefully starting a headstart program next year just so he can be around other little boys. In our family of 6 he is the only little boy, his daddy gets upset that he likes playing with dolls and dress up clothes, though he loves trains and cars too.
