Dec. 30, 2007 - * WORDS WORDS WORDS EVERYWHERE WORDS*
Last night I was sitting on our bed folding clothes and I just asked Paul Ryan how to spell a few words and I was very surprised to see how many he could spell. I haven’t spent much time with vocabulary but when teaching him how to say words in helping his speech this year I have spelled out some for him or had him say the letters of a particular word. Well it’s been a long time since we have done the word/picture cards but after him telling me how to spell so many words I got to thinking ….he can read certain things but I always assume it’s because he has just come to “recognize” that sign or word from seeing it. But maybe just maybe he’s learning to read? I asked him today to tell me the words, minus the pictures and well he can read he told me 27 and that’s just words that are in a flash card pack. He has been able to spell out his name for a month or so and is well on his way to spelling out his brother’s name too. He spelled Andrew like “Andw” pretty close I thought. I am really impressed with him and very proud! Every day is another stepping stone. What a glorious gift to see your children grow and learn. We are so blessed!

Yes! It is so wonderful to be home with our kids seeing what they can do next. My 2 girls are working together on a floor puzzle right now that they have never done without an adults help. It is so cool to watch them grow.
Blessings,

Smart AND sweet- what a guy! :) My oldest is pretty bright and he was able to spell like that at that age too- I remember he was 3 or 4 and we were shopping and he saw a purse and said, "Purse! P-R-S!" Spelling/LA is STILL his thing.
You are blessed!
Love, Alyssa
