This was brilliant on my part, as we have temporarily ended the use of dry erase marker markers on the white board side.
Jasper loves to stand at the chalkboard and say, "Mom, I need to write my name right now."
No, Jasper is not a child genius. He can not write his name...but he sure likes to try.
My favorite is when he writes and draws with both hands at the same time.
He loves to erase, and the white chalk dust on our dark brown hardwood floors is not so great -- but much easier to clean than dry erase marker for sure.

Because pretty soon when he hollers, "Mom, I need to write my name right now," he will be able to write it.
