Wright update

Wright is learning so much recently. He is much more interested in his letters and numbers in the past month or so. I think this started when he learned the letter W at school and realized his name started with W. Then he started spotting Ws all over town and pointing them out. Now he thinks it is really fun to learn his letters and talk about words that begin with that letter. This was especially fun last week when he learned the letter U and discovered underwear starts with U :) I discovered yesterday that Wright can count to 30! Out of nowhere in the car, he was saying to himself 21, 22, 23, 24... I was like, "Buddy, count for me as high as you can." And sure enough, he counted from 1 to "20-10" (aka 30). He only messed up once in the teens. Needless to say, I was quite impressed. I would say overall he is more interested in numbers than letters at this point. On that note, he is also fascinated with time. He has no real understanding of it, but always is inquisitive about. "Mommy, we will do that in 3 minutes?", "We are leaving in 2 hours?", "Last year we went to the park (ie yesterday)". This goes on and on all day long. His other favorite question is "How time is it?" - makes me laugh everytime. His imagination is awesome these days. He is so fun to watch when he plays with his figures and cars and acts out these whole stories with them. The theme is usually around some sort of conflict. Like someone is getting in trouble or someone falls off the car as it is racing off. Such a boy! Last night we went to dinner at Balls for Stewart's bday (my 9 year old cousin). We all sat outside and the boys ran around and played. There were 3 nine year olds, one 7 year old, one 6 year old and Wright - all boys. I was so impressed at how the whole time, Wright completely held his own with all those big kids. He never once came and hung out with Mommy or cried/complained about being left out or anything else. He just marched right over and fit in with kids 3-6 years older than he is! I have said before and will say again that he DEFINITELY has his father's personality and social confidence. A funny thing about when he is with his cousins is that they all have iTouches. So Wright always begs to use my phone so he can hang with his cousins and play Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds like they do.
