The other day as we were walking to school to pick up Joshua, Patience and I were practicing spelling her name. After about the 10th try, she was able to spell it correctly without any help from me. I excitedly praised her. "Patience, you did it! You can spell your name! You're definitely ready for preschool!" She beamed and triumphantly announced, "I ready for preschool. I know my numbers."
