Letter nerds

Everyone knows that Nate loves his letters. He has letter puzzles, letter books, letter games, letter cards, magnetic letters, letter beads, letter blocks, letter videos. Last Christmas, his favorite present was a $3 pack of letter flashcards. And what was he most thankful for this Thanksgiving? That's right.

Guess what Nate discovered when we went to Discovery Place (a science museum)?

Meanwhile, I thought that Theo was my little hands-on engineer -- a physical genius who could manipulate high-tech devices with his hands. That was, until he turned 18 months. Suddenly, he had a passion for letters just like his brother and quickly learned them all. Not only that, but he loves Nate's "Meet the Sight Words/Phonics" videos and knows all of those too.


If you've been wondering, Nate's favorite letter is C and Theo's favorite letter is O. But MY favorite letter to hear Theo say is X (which sounds like eckthhhhhhh) and second-favorite is W (dubbuwoo).
