We pulled into the grocery store<br \/>\n    parking lot yesterday, which is in a strip with a Borders<br \/>\n    bookstore, and when I opened his door to get him out I hear him<br \/>\n    saying &#8220;there&#8217;s an &#8216;o&#8217;, there&#8217;s a &#8216;r&#8217;, there&#8217;s a &#8216;d&#8217;, etc. I<br \/>\n    presume he pointed out the &#8220;b&#8221; before I opened the door. He<br \/>\n    also likes to sit at the table with me in the morning and<br \/>\n    &#8220;read&#8221; the newspaper. He tends to prefer the advertising fliers<br \/>\n    :) He&#8217;ll point out different letters (&#8220;s&#8221; in &#8220;sale&#8221; is common),<br \/>\n    count the people, and point out different articles of clothing.<br \/>\n    Today he got very excited about a baby in a blue hat. &#8220;There&#8217;s<br \/>\n    a baby. Baby has blue hat. There&#8217;s hat.&#8221; Very excited. We were<br \/>\n    in a waiting room the other day (for far too long, but that&#8217;s a<br \/>\n    whole other story) and he kept bringing me magazines (Time,<br \/>\n    Newsweek, Car &#038; Driver, etc.) and he&#8217;d crawl up on my lap<br \/>\n    and flip the pages. I&#8217;d say &#8220;can you find a &#8216;K&#8217;?&#8221; and he&#8217;d look<br \/>\n    and look until he found it. Sometimes he&#8217;ll even find big<br \/>\n    letters and little letters (caps and lowercase). <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Alan reminded me that all kids like to<br \/>\n    point out objects that they know the names of (Lex used to love<br \/>\n    flags and clocks), but I think it&#8217;s extra cool that the objects<br \/>\n    he&#8217;s fixated on now are letters :) <\/p>\n<p>Ok,<br \/>\n    time to do something useful while he naps. Hmmm&#8230; does<br \/>\n    knitting count as useful???<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, I remembered the other one.
