ABC's and 123's

My 2.8yo has never been this interested in the alphabet and numbers. It's always been a mother's pride hearing for the first time, without a miss, her child reciting his abc's or 123's - or at least say his complete name. And I am so proud of how he has grown to love enumerating and identifying figures in plate numbers, store names, keyboard, and books. 

I found Starfall.com that teaches letter-sound relationships and has an easy and kid-friendly navigation. My boy is now experimenting and learning on the exercises it offers. He's having a lot of fun and at the same time he's collecting new words, understanding simple instructions. And what's more amazing, he has discovered how to click and drag a letter using the touch pad! Because he has trouble controlling the mighty mouse, he found a solution on his own.

What an A-for-Awesome discovery of good things! (Like mama discovering the alphabet series by Paul Thurlby.)

who knows!

I just found out that Coldplay drummer Will Champion is living in Dubai. Whoot! Who knows, we might be neighbors! :)

"Making it to the Middle East was something Champion said the band had always strived for. With family currently living in Dubai, he said he was looking forward to his father coming to the gig."
