ASHER IN PRESCHOOL

I guess I need a new category - Asher in Preschool!

I was working with Janney on some workbook pages, and Stuart was keeping Asher occupied with some colouring pages. Meanwhile, Stuart was doodling with our names on a blank page.

Trent came along and started drawing some letters and asking Asher to name them. I knew he knew some of them, but here's the list of definitive letters he knows without any hesitation - at 2 years and 3 months old

H   O   E   I   U   Y   A   M   N


That's all the the vowels and 3 consonants!  Trent said one day he was trying to get him to go to sleep but he was too fussy, so Trent spent some time pointing out letters on a sign, and these ones stuck.

I'm floored.  I'm also feeling a little obsolete. When Trent learned all his letters, I was there, I was the one who taught them to him. Same with Myles, same with Rourke.  But Janney and Asher seem to be learning by osmosis!

You are not obsolete, you have taught your older boys to pass on what they know to the younger ones. A huge, huge accomplishment in a day when most kids seek out age-related peers. Your sons are going to be awesome heads of their own houses, passing on their knowledge of letters, ideas and most importantly... how to love their Creator.

Yeah MOM!
