not your typical i liner

Today, while coloring, Emma struggled to “write” her name. Her squiggles have good form but I would guess that she is beginning to recognize that it isn’t the same as what Abby is writing.

She quickly conceded and asked for help from Mommy but this time there was a little more up her sleeve than just syrup.

Mommy! I CAN’T! You do it?!
Do you want me to write your name?
mmmhmmm

[writing…]

[emphatic] You need a line on theaw!
A line? What…here?
mmhmm…so they don’t fall down!

As anyone can plainly see; letters, names in particular, need a line under them so they don’t fall down the page.
