Caleb's Word Recognition

We've always been impressed with Caleb's memory. It took him no time at all to learn to say and recognize his letters and numbers. And I've posted both stories and video of him "reading" from memory his story books. With preschool, his teachers have been working on name recognition. He was pretty good at this before he started preschool but has gotten even better with it. He can recognize his name, Sadie, and as Andy discovered last night, he recognizes mommy and daddy. Caleb asked Andy to "right my word" - meaning his name and since we always like to test these guys, Andy wrote Daddy. Caleb say "no, not you Daddy. Write Caleb." Again, Andy wrote Mommy this time. Again Caleb called him on it and said "no, not Mommy"

It's so exciting watching how they learn.
