Catching Up - Brayden is 2!

Brayden turned two almost two months ago and has been learning more every day. He still is obsessed with the alphabet, now even more that he watching 'Super Why,' his new favorite show. They focus on spelling with both uppercase and lowercase letters so he's pretty good at both sets now. He still mixes up the b/d, p/q, and i/l. He's also starting to spell words on his own. The first one was wolf. Now I also see a bunch of others: party, bed, sand, meatballs, and happy to name a few. When we sit him down to color, instead of just scribbling, he's been really focused on learning to write his letters. He's still not very good at it, but he's just getting started and can do about half of the alphabet without help. He's also becoming more of a parrot and starting to repeat what we are saying. Usually, he'll pick up on one word from a sentence and start to say that a few times. He still loves to play outside, which is great now that the weather is getting warmer and we can go outside more regularly. He loves going to the park by our house - he finds the letters under the equipment, then climbs up and goes down the slide. Yesterday, he found the sandbox and was in heaven!
