Word up

We feel pretty good about the name we chose for Léo. For one thing, he has figured out to spell it (note the accent on the E!):


Léo was quite proud of himself.


We were proud of him, too, but we were even more amazed when this happened... Léo made himself an elevated train (un train élevé):


Then he asked for the letters L and V. And spelled "élevé"! (phonetically)


He is not always so serious. He can be pretty silly about what letters he strings together.


But he is pretty sure there is a "P" in "pluie". After that, he's got ideas on what isn't in it...

Léo's enthusiasm for writing means that sometimes when he sees me pick up a pen, he wants it for himself to draw and write. Which leads me to have to make my lists in the next writing implement available (in this case a red crayon). Paul thought this was a pretty funny list.


Thanks to Natasha for the great wooden letters!
