Reading of sorts and other observations

So it's like this... my twins are just barely 2 years, adjusted age. They are actually 27 months in chronological age, but that's another post for another day. Anyways, we were riding to the mall and both of them had their books in their laps to look over. My son had his car book and wanted to "read" it. Normally, this amounts to my wife and I reading the words and him turning the pages with a big grin on his face.

Now his spoken language skills are a bit delayed right now because he has a paralyzed vocal cord. Tigger (his nickanme) can speak, but not very well or very loudly. We are making progress with him and he's started to put two words together... sort of, unlike his sister Spitfire, who is giving us detailed solilIoquies on how the world should work.

So my wife starts to read the car book to him and he jumps in on the final word for each page with her, including some of the more difficult words like oil, which he had repeated after me just before we left. Granted, he probably just has a great short term memory, but both of us were very surprised that he did that well.

Here is an earlier entry I did on the kids on their 2nd birthday. I will use their nicknames while online so they won't be too embarassed when they do a google search later on in life.

Though I did also stumble across a link to a humane shelter in California when I googled "spitfire and tigger".... very interesting....
