Always a surprise....


Logan has always been a boy who loves to learn. He was able to identify his ABC's about April 2009 and could even tell you them in random order. A few months ago he started telling us and even asking us what sounds the letters make. Sure we have a love of learning, have a lot of toys that are "teaching toys" and truly would rather watch shows that teach Logan something then something that is absolutely mind numbing (i.e. Sponge Bob), but we are not ones to force anything on Logan (well other then the love of the New England Patriots), we just foster his love of learning.

We realized he was doing the sounds of the letters after he was playing with some of his leapfrog toys and his love of watching Word World (FYI its on PBS). Earlier today he watched a Word World that had the word ROCKET on it. I thought nothing of it since he was playing with his friend Zack and they were running around for most of it. Then tonite while we were watching T.V. Logan was playing with his puzzle and spelt out the word ROCKET as shown in the picture. He did need a little help in putting the R on the left as he's just starting to learn "left and right" but I was just wow'd to see him "building" this word. I love seeing the development of his mind and still can't believe he's only 2 1/2 years old.

 His kindergarten teacher is going to have a run for her money....
