It's an understatement to say that my boy loves letters, reading and spelling. But, this is the first time that he almost got something out of it from a stranger. The other day Gaetan had taken him grocery shopping and he was wearing his Toy Story PJ pants which has Rex on them. One of his new favorite words to spell is dinosaur. Some lady at the store was complimenting Tristan on what a good looking Dude he is and she was commenting on his PJ pants. She said something about dinosaurs and Gaetan told her that he could spell it. The lady looked doubtingly (because really, what 2 year old knows how to spell these types of words) and said, "If he can spell dinosaur I'll buy your groceries." And really, who would turn down free groceries for the week? So Gaetan asked him to spell it and he busts out, "D I N O S A U.... what's next? R!!!!!" Nevertheless that lady was super impressed. So impressed she got her husband and told him about our spelling champion. And funny enough the guy said, "you didn't promise to buy their groceries if he could spell that did you?" Needless to say they didn't end up getting our groceries, but it's a fun story all the same.
Our little man is so impressive.
