ABC It's easy as 123
We've been trying to get Dax to repeat the letters of the Alphabet and the letters of his name for a while now and he wouldn't even look interested. He would just continue with whatever he was enthralled with and maybe say something like D, O, N, 2. Yeah.....didn't think it was working. A couple of days ago I was cleaning in the office and Dax came in and said he wanted to play the computer. I've never let him play it before so I was like, "Eh, what the heck, maybe there is a toddler game online or something for him." Sure enough Fischer Price had toddler games. I chose the ABC game that would say the letter and then an animal that started with that letter. I left Dax to his game and went on my way cleaning. When I went back by the office I heard Dax repeating the letters and laughing. I was so excited that I texted Jake right away to tell him about our son's latest trick.
After he was done playing I asked Dax to say the alphabet with me. He said every letter except for w, he tried but then got frustrated so he went on to X! I then asked him to spell his name with mommy. I would say D and then he said D. I would say A then he would say A and then I would say X and he would say X!
To further astound me with my son's awesomeness I asked him to spell his name while he was in the bath tub this morning, but I decided I wasn't going to help him and just wait to see what he did. A minute after I asked him to spell his name he says in a small voice, "D.......A......X" I screamed and Cheered for him and he became pretty proud of himself.
Day after day I'm astounded at how much our little guy absorbs and takes in. Some days I wonder if I do enough to stimulate his mind and body. Just when I start to doubt myself he does something like this and blows my expectations right out of the water.
