Dexter has always loved books and started "reading along" about a year ago. This was largely memorization of the story and looking at pictures for clues. He wasn't actually reading the words. But lately, Dexter has been really interested in actually reading words. He sounds out written words and asks how words we use in conversation are spelled. Yesterday, Daddy almost choked on his BBQ when Dexter said, "Daddy, you spell edge: E, D, G, E."
Dexy has also been rhyming like crazy. I think they have been doing this at school. Yesterday, it was a half hour rhyming session with Dexy rhyming all sorts of words (both real and make believe). I was able to keep a straight face when he rhymed a work with "yuck" that starts with "f". He didn't know what it meant and continued on with other rhymes.
