A-E-T-H-A-N

So, Aethan's been in school less than a month. Every day he comes home with a smiley face, a virtually empty lunchbox, he eats his dinner and sleeps through the night. Pre-school has created such a wonderful avenue for Aethan to learn and improve his skills. He knows sign language for at least 20 words including flower, tree, ball, book and refrigerator. He knows how to count, all his colors and more animals than ever! The other day My mom and I were sitting on the living room floor of her house with a bunch of letter flashcards and out of nowhere he picked up the letters to his name, put them in order and very matter-of-factly said "A-E-T-H-A-N." He had such a huge grin after that and does it on command every day now. He also recognizes his middle and last name and if you ask him where he lives he says "Farmbrook Road!" I love this. New things every day that just make my heart warm with pride.
