I thought of this thread last night when DS5 was writing his Valentines. I noticed that they were...wonky. Some were spelled wrong, some were really neat and others were very messy.

Turns out, he was compelled to address each Valentine in the handwriting and style of its recipient. For example, one child writes the "d" in his name backwards and it looks like an "h" instead, and DS very carefully copied that (had to erase a couple of times to get it just right). And if the children leave letters out of their name, that had to be mimicked, too.

Just another reminder that he notices EVERYTHING.
