Then I realized he was trying to sound out a word, and I thought it was great that he was trying to spell without asking. I actually wasn't sure which word it was as I watched him write it. When he was finished, it was as follows:
CWSE
I looked at it for a moment, hoping I could figure it out so that he knew he did a good job of sounding it out. Believe it or not, I did realize what it was.
"Does this say Chrissy, Caleb?" I asked him. His face beamed. I was correct.
Then I realized my children pronounce my name "Cwissy" when asked what mommy's name is. I attribute this to Ming Ming Duck on The Wonder Pets. D a r n duck.
So actually, Caleb did a pretty good job spelling. If it would have been CRSE, I bet most anyone could tell what it was. Guess we'd better work on those "R's", huh?!

I HATE Wonder Pets with a great passion for the very reason that that stupid duck doesn't talk correctly. I never let the children I nanny for watch that show. I grew up with a speech impediment... I couldn't say my "R" sound or my "K, C" sounds... I still get made fun of to this day about it... and I hate that the stupid duck talks that way.
Good job to you son though about sounding out and spelling, that's awesome!
If he happens to have the "R" speech impediment a couple rounds through speech will help him immensely. =)
I am now a follower and I would love a follow back! http://stashmama.blogspot.com/
Thank you so much :)
He's such a smart kid! I wouldn't worry about the R's just yet! Brooklyn says our last name is "Arfer" instead of Arthur, so it's all good! :)

My name is Krissy too and my daughter said Kwissy. I agree...damn duck. LOL I actually read some article where parents were boycotting Wonder Pets because of Ming Ming's speech impediment. I think that's just funny. :) Kids are kids!! Good job Caleb!
