Our smart little boy

Truman is learning things so fast now. He knows all his colors and even distinguishes between dark and light versions of the same color. He does sometimes get purple and torqoise (which he pronounces "turk boys") confused sometimes.

He can count to five and counts things object for object, which shows he is really counting. He can also look at a group of items and identify without counting individually whether there are two, three, or four items. When we ask him to make two items into three and such, he can often do it.

He knows his letters for the most part by individual sight. We're not sure whether he knows his alphabet in order, but we think he does. He will recite A-B-C-D consistently. Last night while reading a A-B-C Dr. Seuss book, he threw out T-U-V. This morning, he threw out L-M-N (0r something like it) while I was signing the alphabet song to him.

He knows his name starts with T and will tell you that his name is "Tru Pice" if you ask him what his whole name is. He also knows the street he lives on and the name of the street his school is on.

He knows all his shapes and can attempt to draw some of them if you really push him. He also knows the name of most of his books, lots of animals, the different kinds of emergency vehicles, what different cars of train cars are and lots of other great stuff. He also has an uncanny ability to figure things out. He is so amazingly bright. We are so proud and grateful and in such awe of all the things he was learning and couldn't tell us until recently.
