WRITING: Learning to write numbers

Oliver wants to record this own 'mental math' or at least take part in it ( ticking being his fave, of course), so we went through writing numbers. It was nothing like starting letters, as he's now getting used to writing in general.

He had trouble with '8' until we decided that it's just 's' with two dots joined. Another problem was '6',  we tried few things and settled on the 'racing track' route, where he starts like he does with 'a' but turns off before the 'first point of stop'

I was really surprised how easy it was for him to write 3, 9 and 5, not sure why these letters in particular , and, of course, his fave number by a long shot was '4'.

I think we are going to write numbers for a couple of sessions and then he can just go with a flow with these.
