i'm currently amazed by my baby boy's love of letters. he has started taking an interest in what words say and can tell you the first letter of most words when you say them. instead of drawings now, he covers sheets of paper in letters.
he can spell all the kids' names in his class, although he often forgets and says cooper starts with a "p". so i lovingly call him pooper now. of course his favorite name to spell is e-t-h-a-n!
he can also spell october because they spell the month each morning in class. it was halloween when he first amazed us will spelling it, so i guess it takes approximately 25 times of repetition for it to stick.
the other evening he was working on his bicycle and i over heard him rambling "z. zeeee. zebra. z." other times it's "g. geeeee. guh. g." you get the picture. he over-pronounces every letter, which is fine except for "r." he says "ARRrrghh" instead. i'm worried he'll grow up to be the contestant on wheel of fortune who asks for an "AR-ruh."
[that is my life's dream to someday be a wheel contestant.. and not freeze up. i kick some bootie at home.]
so proud of my smart boy! ms. tara is a wonderful pre-k teacher and it really shows. crazy to think he only has about six more months before he'll start kindergarten summer school!
