Both DD's were early, DD6 spelled her first word, her name at 14 months, then was obsessed with it til she was an indepentant reader, now she spells better than I do, lol. DD5 started spelling words before 2, dog, cat, picnic,& pink, words like that, she even wrote little stories with the words she knew how to spell (so cute, I put her first one in her baby book). She still loves to play spelling games. Her favorite time to do this is when I'm tucking her in bed (it gets me to stay longer). smile
