We knew when we named her that Arden would go through life spelling her name for people. Anything out of the norm is just like that. But I didn't think she'd learn quite this early.
We haven't coached her in any way, other than to read and talk about the alphabet and show her the letter when we write her name on paper or with sidewalk chalk. She also has one of those programmable dogs that sings and spells her name. So when she stared repeating that song and then pointing out the letters she knew, we thought she might pick it up. Dibs got out the foam bath letters and she did the rest. We've been having a blast.
It boggles my mind that my helpless little firstborn is now a little girl. She can count to twelve, spell her name, pray, and when we go to tuck her in at night, she's in her wee bed with her head on the pillow and (usually) her body under the covers.

I could watch that video all day long.
What a little angel. You are definitely doing something right. You are an awesome mom. I wish I could be more like you :)
Aw, thanks Ashley! I wish I were more like whatever you think I am! :) I am a work in progress for sure. And I don't think I can take any credit for Arden's spelling.
You are very modest. That is what I believe has made you the woman/mother you are. I still think you are an excellent mom. Would love to see you at the next bf support group in Feb.
