We’ve been working on teaching Monkey the letters in his name and how they go together. I recalled that I had these letters that I’d bought ages but never hung up anywhere. I pulled them out and he’s TOTALLY got this down now.
He knows each letter and will hand it to me upon request and as soon as he hands a letter to me he will clap for himself and say “Waaayyyy! Waaaaayyyyy!” (Monkey-speak for “Yayyyy!” lol) I put them together so it spells his name. Yesterday morning he handed me the next letter a couple times without my asking for it so he’s clearly remembering the order a bit too. I’m so excited!
I really wanted him to know this before he goes back to school. I want the school to really step up to the plate when it comes to setting new goals for this year and I think they will be impressed by this, I know I am!

Sweet! If they aren’t impressed I’ll go down and smack them around for ya
Way to go. I’d like to set some good goals as well. I think I’ll follow you and work on him spelling his name. Way to go, mom! Hang in there with the teaching! You’re always going to be his #1 teacher.
