Learning the ABs

I've been teaching Matthew the alphabet when he sticks a pen in front of me and asks me to draw something. (Hey, Dad's not much of an artist.) Last night at the table he wanted me to draw them over and over on his magna-doodle toy. Then he wanted me to help him do the drawing.

He's quite good at recognizing them now, but doesn't seem to have the dexterity to do it himself. Even this afternoon when we were drawing huge As and Bs on the driveway with chalk, it was beyond him. Then again, he only tried a couple times before getting distracted by all the cool things there are to do Outside.
