Letter Master

Another thing that Oliver loves is letters. When we were at the Bowles' house for our usual Sunday night dinner, Oliver found the Scrabble game on their stairs. He started picking letters out of it and naming them. Grandma Bowles heard him and was impressed, so she took the game to the table and sat him up on a stool to "work" with the letters. Her mom, Great Grandma Christensen was there, too. He sat there and showed off for both grandmas for 30 minutes; naming the letters, saying sounds and "sorting" away! Even after the grandmas left, I sat there with him for another 15 minutes or so. He'll let you play with him on starfall.com for hours if you're up for it. He can recognize and name all but 5 or 6 letters and knows several of their sounds as well. And I'm not saying this because I've spent hours forcing him to learn them - it's him, not me. He just really loves letters!
