Andrew counted smarties with Heather today. She also did some letter pointing and sound making. Andrew can't count worth beans. He has his father's math ability. great!

Andrew and I played a new game he got called Alphabet Go Fish. He was very good at matching the letters, but is still learning the rules of the game. We also looked at his letter book and he is able to sound out three letter words, but he doesn't know how to put the sounds together and say the word.

The last couple of days we have counted things. He counted four smarties on Tuesday and did it perfectly the first time. But subsequent times, he couldn't get past one. On Wednesday, we counted his Thomas card and he counted perfectly up to 5 the first time and then was not able to get past one after that.
I also noticed that he looks at things backwards. I put his Word Factory dvd on and the WB for Warner Brothers came on the screen and he said, "Look, Mommy, there's a B and a W!" Not worried about it, but just found it interesting.
It is interesting to see the connections he is starting to make. Yesterday we went out for lunch with my mom and sister and Andrew said he wanted to see Grandpa, but he needed a helicopter to see Grandpa. My dad is in Guatemala and we told Andrew he went on a plane to get there so Andrew knows he would have to fly somehow to see Grandpa.
Yesterday he was playing on the top of his bunkbed while I was cleaning his room and told me he was way up high and that he was God. So we had a talk about how God was perfect and there was no one else like him and he can't be God because he is not perfect. Not sure how much sunk in, but its a start.
