Griffin's 3 Years Old

Griffin is growing up really fast. He no longer misses out the letter N when singing the Alphabet Song. He can also do his puzzles all by himself.

The month he turned 3, he could already spell his name. He could also spell HOT and write the letters H-O-T. Knowing that he could already remember how to spell some words, I started labelling some things in our room to familiarize with the spelling of the words. After a while, he could already sight read most of the words. There was even an instance when Griffin was playing with JD and Auntie Marie overheard him saying, "It's H-O-T hot but you can use the F-A-N fan."

The following are some of the words he can read as of October 2007:

Griffin as a 3 year old is very talkative and sociable. He doesn't hesitate to talk to other people specially kids. He is a very smart boy and has a very good memory so he easily absorbs and retains information in his mind. He remembers the smallest details, whether it was something he saw on TV or in a book, something about his toys or something that he experienced. It's like he has a photographic memory. I bought him a book about the Life Cycle of a Butterfly. He tells me to read the book to him over and over again. To my surprise, he has memorized the book almost word for word.
