Finding Letters




I got these magnet letters on the fridge about 8 months ago. I figured we could use them to help Hunter to get more familiarized with his letters. He played with them a little bit when I first put them on, mainly interested in knocking them off and watching them fall on the floor...okay, not what I was thinking, but he is a boy. Every once in while I would go to the fridge and try to get him into spelling his name and he would always say the same thing, "You do it".
Today while I was cutting up some veggies in the kitchen, Hunter asks, "mom, look I am spelling my name." I stop what I'm doing and look at the fridge and see "HUNTR". I couldn't believe it. "Wow, Hunter I am so proud of you! You got it all except for one letter." I helped him look for the "E" and then we had to go get daddy to show him.
Hunter is one of those kids that it is all about doing it on his terms...
