Reese Witherspoon Shows What Happens When You Give Your Kid A Hard-To-Spell Name

#PreschoolProblems

One of the toughest challenges a preschooler can face is learning to spell his or her name, especially if that name is one adults can’t even get right.

Reese Witherspoon shared a photo of her youngest child, 4-year-old Tennessee James, Tuesday on Instagram. In the snapshot, little Tennessee holds up a piece of paper with some green scribbles on it. Apparently, he was attempting to write his name.

Things didn’t exactly work out, but Witherspoon gets the struggle.
