While we introduced both capital and lowercase letters to the children at the same time, we began teaching them to write with capital letters. I do so regret that. They write everything in all capitals!

I'm starting to think that it would have been better to teach them to write the lowercase letters first and then teach them when and where a capital letter is appropriate.

When the baby gets old enough to learn to write I think I will teach him lowercase letters first.

Thanks for sharing your experience, Ophelia. I'll definitely keep that in mind as I choose handwriting curriculum!
