Warning: Proud Parent Post


Nolan wrote the word "Mom"! Without prompting! With a marker! On a pad of paper! Right in front of our eyes!


Here he is matching up his toucan and parrot figures with the pages of same said birds. One of his favorite things to do with this book is to decide whether or not the kinds of animals can be spelled in the tub (we have one of each letter in the set.) E.g.: "parrot" no; "toucan" yes. Yesterday, on the "puffin" page, he said:
"Can't spell puffin in the tub - just like giraffe: two f's."
Seriously, people. And don't get me started (bragging) on his knowledge of dromedary vs. bactrian camels or that elephants live in Africa *and* India.

And, yes, we are looking for another set of those letters.
