Animals, Letters, and Numbers

Today was the first day that I realized that Jace knows the sounds that animals make. Whenever he sees a picture of a cow he says "cow...mooo." So today I asked him what sound does a dog make, and to my amazement he responded with "ruff, ruff". Then I asked him what sound a cat made, and he said "meowwww." Then I asked him about a duck and he said "quack, quack", then I asked about sheep and he said "baaaaa... baaaa", then I asked about him about a dinosaur and he puts his hands up like claws and said "roooar". I was in awe and I couldn't think of any other animals, so he walked away. So cute!

Letters..he loves letters. Everywhere we go he spells out every word he sees. He can say all the letters upon seeing them, except for W. He thinks its a game when he correctly recites the letters. Now we are working on putting them in alphabetical order. In the car rides, I say A, then he'll say A...then I'll say B, then he'll say B..etc. For some strange reason when I get to L he'll always skip to M, and when I say W, he replies with M. When I use his flash cards to show him the order, he'll grab the W card and flip it over and say M.

We bought number flash cards, and we are showing him 1-5 for now. When he masters that we'll introduce more numbers.
