My son's first written word.

My 4 year old son is learning to write and embracing the challenge with great enthusiasm. He is able to recognise some, but not all, individual letters, but unable to spell words. I had never seen him write letters together to form a word. The other day I asked him to decorate a paper bag which was to be used to hold a gift for my childhood friend's daughter. My son wrote a word, which was coincidently my childhood nickname. It was 4 letters long. I don't think my son knows this was my nickname (though he might, as people still call me it). I doubt he could spell it though, as he can't spell. So, my son's first ever written word was coincidently my childhood nickname. Just a random collection of letters that spelled out something with great meaning for me, his mum.
