Spelling Bee

Last night I spelled Bud's name out with his fridge magnets and told him that's how we spell his name. I repeated the letters to him a few times and then he said them! BV wasn't in the room at the time but then 5 minutes later when he was, Bud was sitting on the floor playing and spelled his name without being asked! The other times I would ask him to spell his name he would say, "ABCD, " and I'd say, No, it begins with_, then he'd say the other three letters. I can't believe his memory.

He had a really good time at Grandma & Grandpa T.'s house last weekend and was a good boy. He got to entertain his great-grandparents, too. Grandma got him a potty book that makes a flushing sound and Bud read Click Clack Moo, Cows that Type the whole time he was there. He was sad when they brought him back to us and wanted Click Clack Moo, so Mom & Dad gave us some money to buy him the book. BV reads it to him about 10 times a day and I get to read it a few times in evening.

The last couple of times Bud and cousin Colin (Ty-Ty) have played together they've actually interacted and kind of chased one another. Colin is starting to walk so they're seeing eye to eye. When one of them is up on the slide the other wants to be there, too, and they'll push each other down the slide. This summer should be really fun for them. Bud can't wait for warmer weather because he loves to be outside and watch the birdies and seeshows (squirrels).

We're looking forward to a weekend at home and more spelling bees :)
