Will's World

Will has been so interested in running and playing ball his whole life that he has shown very little interest in letters or reading. Until now. This spring, I mentioned to a friend that I didn't think he knew how to write his name. The very next week, he walked up to our easel and wrote his name without prompting. Oops. I guess I should pay more attention!

So now, I'm trying to work on letters with him. He recognizes about half or so. His first spelling word, of course, was his name. Although sometimes he spells his name "W I L L L L L . . ." His second? C A N D Y. Yes, his favorite thing that Brad and I (and now Abby) have been spelling since he was old enough to eat it. Now, he can spell it too!
