Mad about ABCs

Still trying to upload pics and get the blog done on our recent vacation to Western Australia. More than 600++ pictures in 13days! The resizing of pics alone for easier uploading onto blogspot itself is a nightmare.

Anyway, this is me wanting to put a small note about how obsessed Aidan is about the Alphabet. Since like 3 months or maybe more ago, he's taken a huge interest in the Alphabet. He can't recite the ABCs in order which was what I thought most kids do in the beginning. But this has to do with the fact that he has got speech delay and doesn't recite or repeat words. He still can't sing and many of his peers have already started singing, which means he can't sing the ABC song. But yah, whether he's at home or out, when he see words, he will start saying the letters. He can recognise all of them and pronounce most of them accurately.

I am constantly amazed by this hobby of his. For e.g. when I am reading a mag, he will come up to me, look at the cover and start to say whatever letters or numbers he sees on it. When we're out and he's in his stroller and terribly bored, he will see and say letters. They can be anywhere, billboards, signposts, paperbags or anything like STARBUCKS, ION ORCHARD, PRADA hahaha...

As I am writing this, at 11pm, Aidan is still up, sitting next to his daddy and doing his alphabet puzzle. AMAZING. I have to teach him phonics soooooon.
