It's amazing what an older sibling does for a kid. Jack definitely is benefiting from his older brothers... especially having them so close in age where they are all in the learning stages. We watch Super Why in the morning, we work on our alphabet from time to time. Apparently it has been really sticking with Jack.
The other morning I was wearing a "Zoo York Est 1993 Unbreakable" shirt for my jammies shirt. Jack was the first to wake up so we got some fun morning cuddles in. As we were cuddling, he noticed my shirt and it had letters on it. He points to the 'O' and says 'o' as well as he can. What?? He then points out a few more o's on my shirt. Then says and points to some r's and e's. I was so flabbergasted. A little while later he also pointed and said "s" and "n". James and Gavin definitely did not pick up on the alphabet so young.
Yesterday while we were outside, I decided to write the alphabet out on our driveway to see if he knows other letters and to help him learn some more since he's doing so well with them. He added "f" and "m". This morning he recognized "a". Oh man.
Having these three close together is hard. But it's things like this that helps me see how beneficial it is, too. His brothers really help Jack see and try things before the others did at his age. These guys are all going to love going to school and learning!
