FAT!

Makai is such a fun kid.  The past few days he has done some things that have made me laugh.  First, take note that the boy loves MARIO from Super Mario Bros.  Monday we were attending a class at the hospital that we signed up for that encourages a healthier lifestyle. Makai is too young so he attends a daycare type class.  The lady in the class made him a paper airplane and asked him to spell his name so she could put it one the plane.  He told her, "M-a-r-i-o". I laughed when I saw the plane and he just said, "Mom, I like to be Mario!"  I was impressed he could spell it.  

Makai has known his letters and their sounds since he was two.  However, making that next big jump to putting them into words is not coming easily.  It is painful as he sits by the word PIG for example and sounds it out perfectly, but can't quiet get the word.  Well tonight we were trying again and after about 5minutes working on the word FAT he actually got it!  We were so excited for him and he was pretty happy.  Later I even asked him to spell FAT and he did.  Anyway, there is hope.  

Monty then decided to test him on his shapes.  He didn't know many, but when Monty drew a rectangle Makai screamed, "a TV shape!"  He couldn't figure out why we were all laughing, after all he was right.  

Funny kid!  Love him so much!
