smarty pants

So, we think Blake is pretty smart... yes we are his parents and we are a little bias, but everyday we are amazed by how much he knows and how quickly he is able to learn things.

Yesterday I was helping him put his shoes on (they are sketchers) and he pointed to the side of his shoe and said 'S'. He knew that the letter on the side of his shoe was an S! He continues to say "S, S, S..." until I say "Yes, that is an S! Good job Blake" Now, he is only 18 months old but I decided to test him out on his letters. I went to the kitchen where we have alphabet magnets. He recognized several of the letters- O, B, S, K and so on....
He also recognizes his name- whenever he sees his name written out he knows exactly what it says!

He has a magnidoodle that we draw and write on- he now knows, recognizes, and says the following shapes: circle, triangle, rectangle, oval, star and arrow.

Aren't kids amazing...
