Tyler had been outside playing when he called me to come and see something. I thought it was another one of his scooter "tricks." But when I walked outside in the garage this is what I found:
He also showed me his elephant.
Tyler's been in school now for about 6 weeks, and after just the first week he started writing the letter A. He'd write one, and then ask, "Mom does that look like an A?" "Uh. Yeah. It is an A." He also started trying to write his numbers after I made a hopscotch game on the driveway. He's loving this writing thing. I'm sure he finds it empowering, and I knew he would, he would just never learn it from me. Believe me, I tried. But now that he's in school he's asking me all sorts of questions about words and what things spell, and when I read to him, he now wants me to move my finger under the words as I read them. He also good at sounding out the letters and trying to figure out what the word is. I can't believe the change in him in just a few weeks. I love it!
Addie likes to watch Tyler do his art and letters. Here she is eating a whole wheat chocolate chip cookie -- Great Grandma's recipe. Yum!
She just looked too cute this day for me not to get a picture of her. One of her other favorite things to do outside is to sit on the front steps like Mommy does, and watch all the cars go by.

Isn't that so true...sometimes it's just better for our children to learn from others. Rachel does nothing before she is ready despite all I try to teach her. Luckily once she decides to do something she picks it up super quick. Which makes me think that they really are listening when least expected. :)
