A Boy of Letters

Noah is getting pretty proficient at the alphabet.  There is a sandwich board at church to show where to pick up the shuttle for the offsite parking.  Of course Noah can't read the sign, but we went through the letters.  He is not so good at the lowercase letters, so we worked on it together.  It was fascinating to go through the word "Shuttle" with him.  When we got to the first "t" I had to tell him what it was.  Then when we got to the second he still was not sure.  I said, "If this is a 't' (pointing at the first one) then what is the other one?"  He figured it out.

This is in stark contrast with Lily who would have started stomping her feet and crying, "I don't know!"  It takes a lot more get to Noah frustrated.  You should see him work the menus on the Wii.  He very methodically works through them to get the game that he wants.  The boy is much smarter than he sounds.
