OK, I believe I have said this before, but I can not stand when parents go on and on and brag about their kids.... This being said I am now going to brag about Benson and annoy myself, BUT I AM SO PROUD!
As some of you know I am doing Pre School with Benson at home this year. It is the only year I will be able to be home with him before he starts Kindergarten next year (because of me having to work before). So I promised myself that I would do my best and really strive to teach him everything he would need to be able to excel in school.
I started in early November, and even though he already knew a lot, I feel like he has come leaps and bounds. It has been an amazing experience that we have been able to share and I feel so great that my child is REALLY learinging from me. Well, Drum Roll PLEASE.... Even though he knew his ABC's I have really been working with him on learning and recognizing his ABC's as well as the sounds of every letter, which he has! BUT THIS LAST WEEK HE BLEW ME AWAY! He read his first word.... "HAT!" Hat has never sounded so beautiful! He recognized the letters, sounded it out and put it together, and it just flowed out of his mouth! He then went on to sound out and read, "bat, fan, van, nap, cap, bag, wag..." and the list goes on. Now not every word is perfect BUT to me it is!
I am so proud of him and I just feel like he is so brilliant. He is working so hard and loves to learn. He really is an aggresive learner and loves when he learns new things, ideas and concepts. I can not wait to see what he will be doing by the time he goes to school.
On one more "bragging" side note, he also has the concept of counting down and just belted out his numbers to FIFTY this week as well. OH YES, we will be working on counting to 100 this week.
SO FUN!
Thanks for letting me brag about my Brilliant Benson!
