ABC's

Last week the sweetest baby in town enjoyed a fantastic milestone.

Well, I'm not sure if it's a real milestone according to milestone definitions but it is in our books. Baby boy was watching his new favorite cartoon, Super Why. He's watched Super Why on and off for a while but hadn't quite clicked when it came to the alphabet interaction. And boom, he recognized the letter 'A'. The show is about books and how these characters find answers to their problems in storybooks. Through the episode there are letters that pop up which are later used to come up with the answer to the problem. I was in the kitchen when I heard the main character say "you see super letters? Which letter is it?". With great excitement baby boy jumped up and down, pointing at the screen and shouting "A A A, it's A mommy, A A A"! And sure enough, it was an A. Boy was he proud. After that, there was no stopping him. After the show he ran to his room and started reading the alphabet placed around his walls. He skips letters in between but puts on a good effort.

His mind is incredibly active these days, I guess it's time I get serious about teaching him a second language...
