Smarty Pants

Owen has known how to spell his name for awhile now. He will run around the house yelling,

"O-W-E-N!"

at the top of his lungs. I thought maybe he had just memorized the way the letters sounded together without truly grasping the meaning of spelling his name. I was cooking in the kitchen the other day while O played with his ABC puzzle. I came out to find the letters of his name perfectly lined up. "I spell my name, Mommy!"

Yes, you sure did, O. My little Smarty!
