Forming New Words

Samuel is a hungry learner. His favorite shows are Caillou and Electric Company. At night while I lay on the bed with him winding down, he wants to throw electric word-balls at the wall. We read books and he picks out the words he can read and says them. He says, "Can you spell that word?" He is daily learning bigger words and the more expanded context of sharing with me what happened this morning and what will happen tomorrow. I'm continually amazed.

This week Karen bought some honeydew melon for us to eat. It was very sweet and yummy. She asked him if he wanted some more honeydew melon. He said, "Yes, I would like some more cock-a-doo"! :)
