Working on those Fine Motor Skills

I'm on a mission about working on Ethan's fine motor skills. I know that he is where he should be with them and all, but he is so smart in other areas that I cannot accept that he is average in this department. I know, I know! He doesn't like practicing writing his letters, words, or his name with pencil and paper. So since the weather is warming up, I thought what a wonderful time to get the chalk out and have him decorate the backyard with his name! He did not see it as work at all, and I'm happy to report that he likes to write...with chalk that is.
