ABCDEFG...

Gabe knows how to say his ABC's and thinks the ABC song is the most fun he's had since he learned "If you're happy and you know it" and "Ring around the Rosy". He can say every other letter if Daddy or Mommy starts off alternating with him and he can identify all of the capital letters in any order including going from Z-A. He isn't even tricked by M and W or O and Q. It's so cool. He's so proud of himself. When we record him on video, he enjoys watching it back and seeing himself.

When we are driving in the car, he looks for signs and spells things. He identifies letters all over town and in stores and sometimes he finds things I wouldn't have even noticed.

Now, I want him to learn some of the lower-case letters and be able to identify them just as successfully. He didn't realize that there were other ones for him to know! We recently got these Blue's flashcards and he likes them alot. They have flaps that hide the lower-case letters on each card and he gets to lift them to reveal the little letters. He is so careful not to tear them when he plays with them. He has already picked up on a few of them.....stay tuned for more learning fun.
