Letter Mania!!

I just wanted to comment today on my little guy and how much I totally adore him :). And about how he loves letters. I really don't think people understand his obsession until they spend time with him. His nursery leaders have found out that letters really calm him down when he is throwing a fit. They probably draw letters with him the entire 2 hours! haha. At home he brings me some form or scrap of paper and a pen and wants me to fill it with "names" (words), letters, or shapes. He can't write himself yet, so he has to get an "expert" to do it for him :). Any new toy at the store that he looks at is the one with letters. He wakes up spelling words, singing the alphabet song, or just repeating letters. He just flat out loves letters! Well, this week I just had to laugh at the things that happened :). He was coloring in a notebook one day and was getting us to write letters in it. Well, his dad and I were deep in conversation and apparently not doing a good enough job writing. So, he took matters into his own hands and actually WROTE a letter C and D. Legibly!!! Needless to say, we were totally shocked. He just turned 2 a couple months ago! The second thing was when I cleaned out the car. It needed it SOOO badly! When I got to Dozer's area of the car, I started finding letters in every nook and cranny in the car. And I know you all know there are A LOT of crannies. I ended up finding 9 letters that had been buried for unknown ages. But, they were ALL "O's" and "B's"!!. Those are his favorite letters and must have been the ones he snuck out of the house haha! And true to form, there were more "O's" than "B's". Haha! I just had to laugh when each letter I pulled out of the deep dark was yet another "O"!

But, believe it or not, there are other non-letter related things in our house :). He is starting to show interest in ONE other subject: Dragons. He asks for dragons a lot lately. He still asks for birthday cake almost daily since his birthday. He FINALLY stopped being so stubborn and decided to say PLEASE. And realized that he gets things when he does so! And he also loves his wagon that he got for his birthday. But, because of the weather we haven't gotten it out until this week. He loves to chase our chickens and bunnies around the yard, and he loves his daddy :). We just totally love this little boy!
