My mom bought Jakob this schoolhouse tin and it has little magnetic letters in it as well as cards that the letters will fit on (in the picture). Yesterday Jakob sat down with the letters. -Usually he calls every letter he sees a B and every number is a 1.- He picked up the letter B and said B and placed it on it's card. Next he picked up the letter Y and said Y. There is a yak on the Y card so he always says (or attempts to say) yak when he sees the card. Then he picked up the letter D and said D and then the letter S, he didn’t say S but he made the ssss sound. I was sitting there thinking…hmmm, could he actually know those letters or did he just get really lucky? As you know, or maybe have just heard me say Jakob doesn’t do anything he doesn’t want to do so last night I thought I’d try to get him to do it again, knowing he probably wouldn’t do it. He said D and S correctly last night! I think he is really learning his letters. I am so excited for him!

Such a smart little guy! He will totally get it, his daddy loves to learn so I guarantee he picks up a lot more than we realize. Go Jakey!!
I think he has been sitting quietly...absorbing everything, he is going to blow our minds one day. He is so smart, and i am not saying that just because I am his gamma :-) Gamma loves Jakob and so proud of him.
That's awesome! I'm so happy to hear this. I bet he is going to blow all y'all's socks off when he decides he's ready :)
