Smarties!

I spent the morning with Aden and Khalil while Rachel took Abram to his music class. Aden loves to "play school," so Rachel makes flashcards for him, and while I was there, he got out his flashcards and asked me to "do them" with him. He whizzed through all of the words until he came to "PHONE," at which time he stopped and said, "Bubbe, did you know that a p and an h together make a sound like f? P-h-o-n-e spells phone!" He also has words like "tizzy" and "wailing," and he knows them all. Then he got out his magnadoodle and wanted me to spell "ambulance" for him, which he promptly wrote down. Khalil, in the meantime, at 3 months old is rolling over and trying to crawl. He didn't fuss at all- this was the first time ever Rachel's left him, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I shouldn't have been worried. He is interested in everything around him and just squeals with delight when Aden or I interact with him. When Abram and Rachel got back, Abram told me all about a little roach he saw and how "cool" it was...he likes to capture bugs, examine them and then let them go. Wonder who he takes after???? :)

He definitely does not take after his Granny! Must be you! Kids are so bright and funny. Edna told me a cute story about her grandson but it's so long, I'll put it in my blog rather than here.

Definitely cute and smart! Hope we get to see them when we are in TX.

I love it--a child who can spell, pronounce, and WANTS to! Nurture that boy! And in 15 years, send him to my class. :)

I think he'll be ready for college in about 5 at the rate he's going! Rachel found some Dick and Jane books, and he's eating them up, but he's mastering them way too quickly, so we need to find him something new.
