This is the extent of Jonathan's obsession with letters, numbers, writing, and all things Kindergarten right now:
Today, he was very "starsick" (as he calls it), from riding in the car from church. He rushed out of the car into the driveway, saying, "Mama, I've gotta go puke!" As he ran to the toilet, he stopped, looked back at me with a quizzical expression on his face, and said, "Wait a minute. Does puke start with P"?
"Yes, yes it does."
"Yes, yes it does."
"Okay. And another word for puke is VOMIT?"
"Yes."
Then he resumes his run into the house, so he can p-uke in the toilet.
In the picture above, you can see some of his practicing. He uses scrap paper, his notebook, or this magnet board to write his numbers, letters, and to copy words. The other day he wrote a sentence using his sight words: I can see. He also is able to pick out more and more words as I read to him at night. It is amazing the transformation his brain is undergoing right now! I am going to start his piano lessons after Christmas. He keeps asking for piano lessons, but I wanted to wait until he was really quick with letter recognition (or at least letters A-G!).
