Silent "t"

Scott and John were out running errands today, and this was one of their conversations:

John: (pointing at an Old Country Buffet sign) That says buffet.

Scott: (slightly shocked and amazed) Yes, it is.

John: That has a silent t.

It's amazing how God has blessed John with a love for words. I have never forced him to learn his letters or read books. He constantly asks questions...and I answer them.

When he turned 2, he already knew 5 uppercase letters.

By the time he was 3, he knew all his uppercase and lowercase letters and their sounds.

Now that he's 3 1/2 (that 1/2 is VERY important in his eyes), he is reading words (i.e. John, Emma, Mommy, Daddy, God, Jesus, and most CVC words), spelling words, and writing his name and attempting others.

I wonder what God has in store for him. Today our youth pastor preached on destiny and helping kids realize God's purpose for their lives. Whatever God's purpose for John's life, I hope and pray that John loves the Lord his God and follows God's plan.
