Letters

This is my first post to the new Scott Family blog -- I expect that I'll be less prolific than my amazing wife...but I'll try to share often!

I wanted to write a little bit about Owen's letters. He got a Magna-Doodle from his Cousin John and John's parents for his birthday, which has been a blast! And recently, we've been having a lot of fun writing letters on it. Owen already knew "O," which he uses for the letter, and for anything that is circular. When he's spinning around, he's doing O's, or when he's whisking our pancake batter on Saturday mornings, he's making O's.

Anyhow, since we started last week on the magna-doodle, he's added A,B,D,E and M. And we're continuing to add more. It's amazing to watch this little sponge just soak up whatever there is around him and incorporate it into his knowledge (as an example, he learned the ASL sign for "help" and used it correctly without our input -- just from watching Steve use it in Blues Clues.). We just love watching him learn and grow.

His favorite letter right now is "B" -- not surprising with all the B words that he knows and loves -- so here's a picture of him with a B. Imagine me asking, "Owen, what letter is this?" And him looking up and shouting "Beeeeeeeeeee!"
