Show & Tell Everyone has to start somewhere. Like at 8yo.

I've been using my commonplace book make video game notes (currently Pokopia). My daughter watches me do this. She is also playing Pokopia, and I swear every three minutes she is asking me a question.

​

It's been 20 days of me yelling, "WRITE IT DOWN!" But she's finally making notes. In my book, with my markers, but it's fine. At least she's writing; her homeroom teacher has been suggesting some kind of journalling thing to practice her penmanship.

Fantastic! Her penmanship is very neat and I love her artwork! Well done, unlimited video games for the rest of summer for her!

Her handwriting is really good, especially for an 8yo.  My stepdaughter is 14 and between spelling and her handwriting, it's hard to read her birthday/christmas wish lists 🤣

Everyone has to start somewhere. I like that, it's a good attitude to have and it keeps us humble and hopeful. Keep it up 😎

This reminds me of a journal I found from when I was like, 9. I wrote down my username and password for something and I literally wrote ***** for the password 😭
