David has become such a good big brother. Ever since Abigayle was born he surprised me by how well he handled a new baby around. Most recently when Eric is wrestling around and playing with Abbey, David will look very seriously at Eric and say "Don't hurt my sister!" I have als
o started working on teaching David to read. He has always shown a huge interest in letters and that interest has only grown. He also LOVES playing on the computer. So...when Jill showed me
this site, we had to give it a try. So far he can sound out most words and has a number of sight words memorized. It has amazed me h
ow much he can remember and how much of a visual learner he is. Knowing this has helped SO much when I have tried to teach him new things. Everything from potty training to simple chores are SO much e
easier if I show him or have pictures to show the steps. David is VERY excited to turn three. He has several cousins that have had birthdays recently. Anytime he sees a birthday cake he will tell you that after Christmas it will be his birthday and he will be "three mine old." We aren't sure why he says 'mine old' but now matter how many times we tell him that it is 'years old' he looks at us like we are crazy. But I guess when you are almost '3 mine old' everything your parents say is crazy!

We love starfall too! Parker plays his "letter games" all the time, and even Andrew is learning letter names and sounds just by watching him. Your kids are SOOOOO cute!
David, you are sooo smart and handsome!!
David - I am so glad you are such a great helper and take care of Abbey!! We sure miss you!!
David...you are getting super smart. It was fun reading all about what you like to do. Keep up the great work on learning how to read.
