Studious

I realized I have never done a post of Gavin's knowledge of letters, numbers, shapes, & colors. He asks "What's that?" 100,000,000 times a day, so he knows just about everything about everything!

Levi and my mom use the same word to describe what kind of child he will be:

stu·di·ous

adj.

1.

a. Given to diligent study

b. Conducive to study.

2. Marked by steady attention and effort; assiduous

3. Giving or evincing careful regard; heedful

4. Deliberate; contrived.

We hope he is like his daddy who did his homework as soon as he got home and NOT like Mommy who woke up early to do homework the day it was due!

Take Gavin to a toy store, and he will choose books to read and puzzles to complete. He has a little piano, and if he hits the first key twice, he MUST hit all the other keys twice. When he takes puzzle pieces off, he lines them up specifically. He prefers his hands stay clean. When he builds with Lego's, he will only build with 2 colors at a time. He usually puts orange and red together, then black and yellow. He loves to watch a video that is like flash cards for vehicles, shapes and animals.

These are the letters I know for sure he knows. Some I think he knows, but can't say, such as W.

He can spell his name and likes to spell Goodnight Moon before reading the book.

But as much as he likes to learn, he still likes to have fun!
