Ethan was in the tub the other night and he has foam letters that stick to the sides. He knows all of his letters (and numbers too), but I asked him to put the letters up for his name. and he DID! He spelled his named out. I have no idea where this falls in his development time-line - but I was impressed! He loves to sound things out and knows all the sounds that letters make. I knew English was a tough language, but not until you try to tell a kid that "chair" does actually start with "C" do you run into problems. We say a word and then we say it slower and he repeats it until he figures out what letter it starts with. Then we have to go on and on and on with what other words start with the same letter. It's great fun and learning for him. But I need to pull out the dictionary for X and Z words.
His latest interest is knowing what street everyone lives on. We're talking about Sasha and Malia Obama and he wants to know what street they live on. Then his friend Aidan, then mommy's friends, etc... hopefully he'll have his dad's sense of direction about him! :)
