that spells me.

a few weeks ago, james and i decided to set a few summer learning goals for the boys. since evan's vocabulary grows every week, although i think james and i are the only two who can understand him, we decided to take it easy on the little guy. giggie's summer learning goal: keep learning new words. with hopes that mid summer we can incorporate shape and color recognition.

i set the bar kind of high for lane. or so i thought. lane's summer learning goals: spell his first name. write his first name on his own. count to 20. (we currently go as high as 13 and then have a random mix of teen numbers following.) continue to work on left and right.  learn his address, and hopefully memorize my cell phone number.

a few nights later, james took lane to bed and got a head start on the summer.

first item checked off the list: learn to spell his name. he's got it down. ask him to spell his name, and he will proudly call out L A N E. ask him what L A N E spells, and he will proudly call out, "that spells me!"
