Happy Valentine's Day!

We gave the boys coloring books and new crayons for their Valentine's Day gift. After coloring for a while German says he wants to write Eli's name on his paper. So, he did. German knew how to spell 'Eli' and write the letters (though it's difficult to see), even though we haven't really gone over letter writing. Then he says he wants to write his own name. 'German' is a little harder to spell, so we helped him sound it out and spell, but he did all the letters on his own. This boy loves learning and does such a good job listening to the things we teach him. I can see now why they say that children are so eager to learn; their minds are little sponges. WE LOVE GERMAN!
