mom2twoboys: your DS sounds so similar to mine! the perfectionism, especially with writing & the math surprises!

for the record, my DS's writing has improved DRAMATICALLY since the switch AND he doesn't struggle as much to make it perfect. In fact, quite the opposite now. He has to be reminded to write neater during non-handwriting lessons! I'm not quite sure how that happened, but there is "hope" for your DS's fingers to catch up! smile
