This a bit of a brag. I just had to tell someone and I know everyone here will understand. My 24 month old son just left me speechless. I found some dollar store flash cards I had bought a long time ago. He had never seen them before. They were the kind with a picture and a word on the bottom. I cut the words off and decided to show him 4 at a time. He matched the correct word to the correct picture. I was amazed. I gave him 4 more and he did it again! These are words I have not taught him. He matched boat, sun, frog, cup, duck, star, apple and cow. Woah. He's known the sounds of all the letters for about 6 months now, but I guess I just wasn't expecting him to put it all together and READ words. What in the world am I going to do with this child when he's 5! Our school district teaches letters and letter sounds in kindergarten and reading in first grade. I guess I have plenty of time to before I have to worry about that.
Anyways.... Thank goodness I found this forum! There's nowhere else I can tell these stories and not be accused of not letting him have a childhood, lying or hot housing.
