• ABC's

  Today, Austin said the ABC's all the way to "Q,R,S" and then he got distracted..  but I think he may know the whole alphabet!    I was shocked.

  He loves the book "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" ... When I'm reading it, I will stop at various points and he always fills in the right letters, I think he kind of has it memorized.  So today, he was putting together this alphabet puzzle, and when we finished I started singing the chicka boom boom song, and he said, "No, Mommy, sing ABC's song." 

  It's probably been months since I sang that song to him, the traditional one, so I said, "Oh, the REAL ABC song?" So I started singing it and he was saying some random letters.  I decided to see how much he knew so I said, "Austin sing it."  Well, he can't really carry a tune yet, so he was just saying the letters, and he went all the way to QRS.. and then got distracted by something or another and stopped.  I tried to get it on video to keep but when I got the camera, he wouldn't do it anymore.

  I was shocked.  He's known all the letters for a long time, but he's never put together the whole alphabet in the right order. I was really proud of him, but at the same time.. he's growing up so fast..
