Nut Brown has been really interested in letters lately. We've been slowly practicing their names and the sounds they make and lately he's been sounding out words all by himself without prompting. He also thinks that a 'homework' assignment to copy letters is the best thing ever- he's much more interested in coloring, drawing, and fine motor control than his sister, and loves to sit down with a pen and Dr. Seuss's ABC to write the alphabet.
Here is a drawing he produced recently of a pickle on which he has written 'PICKLE', although it is backwards and the letters are also backwards.
Nut Brown keeps referring to the letter 'S' as 'see', because it makes the sound 'sssss', which 'see' starts with. He also calls 'C'... 'see'. I'm sure he'll figure it out eventually: more importantly, he knows what sound they make when you're reading.
