Words

The boy loves words. We've known this for quite some time by his high demand to be read to for hours and hours each day. His attention span for stories is often longer than ours. One of his favorites lately has been the original Winnie-the-Pooh. He'll easily sit through three chapters and ask for more.

The new thing though is spelling words and recognizing words he knows how to spell. I hesitate to call it reading because he still only knows a handful of words. So far he can spell and recognize: Evan, Toy, Mom, and Dad.

We recently inherited another lot of toys and puzzles from our friends the Haefners (bless 'em) and a few of them are pre-reading activities that I've been shopping around for!!! Yippee!

And I just heard from a friend that it's already time to shop for a preschool! Yikes!
