Spelling

Anthony is so smart. He loves to play on the computer. We were getting tired of typing things for him, so we taught him how to type words. He can type "mario," "luigi," "sonic," and "Anthony." He has been asking how to "type" a lot of words, and recognizing sounds. Like Renato has a rrr sound which is like Rylan and Remington. He also realized that Mommy and Melanie sounds like Mario. And Daddy has 3 d's! Sammy sounds like Sonic so it starts with an S. He is getting pretty good at writing his name, but still has a hard time with N. He told me the other day that he could do it cause Grandpa Danny taught him how. On his Valentine's cards for school he wrote his name on 8 of them! When we went to restaurant the other day he circled all the letters in his name on the word search. He introduced himself to the waitress and spelled his name for her. She said, "You're really smart today," he responded, "No I'm smart everyday!" Then he introduced Sam and Oliver. He said, "Thats my brother Sammy. He is three but he wants to be two. Thats my other brother Oliver, he is zero!" She asked him how old he was and he said "I'm four, but I'm going to be 5 in 40 sleeps!" Pretty close!
