Ashtyn's Letters

Ashtyn is finally loving letters. When she was younger, I couldn't get her interested in them. She'd just play with her foam letters like blocks and didn't seem interested when I would tell her which letter was which. 

Then for Christmas, Ben's grandparents gave each of the grandchildren their name spelled out in wooden letters. Ashtyn loved them. Ben would sit with her and tell her which letter was which. It wasn't long before she knew what all the different letters in her name were. 

Ashtyn doesn't know all her letters yet, but she's learning so fast. Her favorite letters are O, S, H, and W (which she calls double). She also loves when we sign letters and will try, though she's not quite coordinated to do them all yet. 

She'll practice and learn her letters with me, but she actually loves doing letters with Ben way more. She gets really excited when he starts telling her which ones are which and if I sign one and Ben's in the room, she always looks to see if he's signing it too. 

She's such a fast learner. Children really are amazing.
