Ian loves to spell and count. He knows almost all his letters (F and Q still give him trouble sometimes) and can count up to 20 (usually he forgets a number or two in between, but it is never the same number).
The other day, we were in his bedroom after his bath and he started naming his letters on the wall and counting them. I-A-N! 1-2-3. Of course, by the time we got the video camera, he wasn't naming and counting them in the same order. But we still got some fun video of it!
Ian still loves to say the letters of his name. He will often go over them...I-A-N...and then jump into my arms. I have to be paying attention! We'll swirl around (although we didn't in this video) and then start all over again.
I had been looking for some magnetic letters and numbers for our fridge, but didn't want to pay too much. The other day, I came across sets of both at Wal-Mart for $1 each. Can't pass up a deal like that! Ian had a blast putting his numbers and letters on the fridge. He's a little hard to hear (Elmo is in the background). Granted, he's a little hard to hear even if you are right there sometimes, so we really can't blame Elmo!
When Ian had all of his letters and numbers up, he started counting them. I love watching when he wants to count fast. One, two, fee, foh, fiii, sik, sebenninetentwelveteen!
Ian, we are very proud of you!! You are doing a great job learning your letters and numbers and will be reading in no time!
Watching them learn to spell and seeing their eyes open to the magic of letters is so much fun! You're doing so awesome with Ian. I'm on the hunt for magnetic letters too. =)
