Spelling

So Jason and I have been forced to start spelling out anything we don't want Josh to know about. So when we are talking about Christmas things a lot of our conversations go like this,
"we need to start thinking about things for the
S T O C K I N G, maybe we could put a M O V I E in it."

well last night when we were having one of these conversations Josh spoke up and asked for a T O Y. and then told us what he wanted. we were both speechless because our four year old just spelled for us. We had him do it again on video. So we are the proud parents of a very smart little boy. So if you want your kids to learn to spell, spell everything out in conversations around them if they are up for a challenge they will start telling you what you are saying.
