"It says Halloween!"

This week, when Miss Julie came to give Allen the once-over, we told her that he's started to make the connection between letters (which he already knew) and words. The other day, I was wearing my Gulf Shores sweatshirt. Allen pointed to the words and said, "It says sweatshirt!" So, he not only knows his letters, but he knows that they go together and make words, and that we use words to label things.

Then, I found this weirdly Cyrillic little grouping on the chair Friday, and he said "It says Halloween!" So, now he's a speller, too.
