    You: I’ve pulled the ideas out my bum honestly.

    Me, reading: This is intuitive genius. Seriously.

    You’ve said your strategy essentially comes from listening/observing closely and winging it, but honestly what you’re achieving just through keeping at it every way you can is amazing. Apart from not being more condensed (smaller, tighter) that handwriting is actually more legible than I’ve seen from more than a few adults, including the slight nod to the presence of lines. I am not exaggerating.

    Your creativity and temerity are both inspiring. Your son is lucky to have you.
