He couldn't tell the diff between M and N, and S and T, and G and H, but heck, I'm not sure I would get those right either since those sets look very much alike! Other than those pairs, he was remarkably good at telling me what letter I was signing, which amazed me. I call him baby-ham-hands in my head sometimes (because he's still adorably clumsy in that early toddler way, and his fine motor is pretty slow in developing), so I've never even thought to work with him on signing the alphabet, but we have watched Signing Time, Volume 5: ABC Signs hundreds of times (that and Curious George Learns the Alphabet are how he learned to identify letters) and by golly, he learned to read the signs as well as the written letters!
Go baby Jackson!
Isn't that so cool when they surprise you with what they know? I love it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll like "Town and Country!" I love the Maple Hill Farm books, too. They are SO good at capturing the different personalities of all the various animals. Wonderful. I ended up buying a "new" (thrift store) book by them the day after I got the package--"What is a Color?" I don't really need another "colors" book, but I was feeling in love with their style right then. And sure enough, it's a good one!
