The Light Bulb Moment

I have to take a moment and brag about my little boy. Wesley has always been a pretty bright little kid (doesn't every Mom say that about their kid?) but he's really taken off since starting preschool last fall. He's super excited about learning. They are working hard on the alphabet and he's got that down. During dinner (and throughout the day for that matter) we ask him "What does alligator start with?" He then thinks about and goes "Ah ah alligator.....A!!" He's pretty animated throughout this process and usually wants to do more.

Then the other night, about a week ago, he had a light bulb moment. Sean was reading to him before bed and the book had a story line along with little descriptive words next to some of the pictures. For instance there was a picture of a tree and then had a little "tree" next to it. Sean is reading along and Wesley points to the word and goes "T-R-E-E" and then Sean said what does that spell? He said "TREE!" Then proceeded to point to other words and do the same. It was awesome to see. It's just fascinating watching that little brain work. I can't wait for the day when he can read books to us. Maybe that day will be sooner than I had thought.
