Words

Austin was in his bed tonight trying to spell words again. He would put different letters together and then ask me what it said. And I would always say, "honey that's not a word". Finally, after several minutes of this, I said, "Austin why don't you think up some words you know and try to spell them". He said, "OH ok". (like he had never thought of this before). So I would say a few 3 letter words and he would pick up the letters and spell the words. Cup, Dog, fun, etc.

I can't brag anywhere else...so I'm glad I have this blog to brag. My Mom always thinks that she can't brag either, because no one would believe her. The other day I was telling a homeschooling mom, that we really respect, about Austin spelling words and knowing the states . They already call our kids the Mensa Club. But I got the feeling that she was annoyed. So now I feel I can not talk to anyone. Sometimes, I feel like I need to kind of offset it with something 'bad'. like "oh yes they can read only 3 LETTER words and know some states, but they are 3 years old and not potty trained." So if you read my blog then...just expect me to brag here.
