A...S...H...L....E....Y!

Tonight as Rob was getting ready to put Ashley down for night night, she comes into the office to look at what I was doing (which was blogging). Then she asks to see pictures and I show her the most recent ones I uploaded which included this picture of a piece of paper where she had "written" her name at school and brought home for us to see.

I then proceed to ask her what the piece of paper said and she says, "Ashley." I then ask her what the letters were and to point them out to us. OUT OF NOWHERE the child says, "A.S.H.L.E.Y. ASHLEY!" She spells her name!

I literally couldn't believe it and asked her over and over to spell it. Never in a million years would I have expected her to be able to spell her name since she really hasn't been "taught" it. Rob's worked with her a little but still. It's amazing how we teach without even knowing that we are teaching!

So then I asked her to do it for the video camera and she did. Here it is!!!!

This child amazes me with what she knows everyday. She learns and likes to be taught so differently then Anna that it shocks me when I see how much she is really taking in. The learning process when they are this young is simply amazing.

Much Love,
Jenny
