Learning new things

Isn't it an amazing experience to watch your children grow, learn, and develop new skills? Dallin loves to try to teach his brothers and friends learn how to write, read and do math problems. He gets SO excited when they can understand something that they didn't previously understand. (Future teacher maybe?? I don't know) Dallin has been working very hard on teaching Parker how to write his letters and some small words. Every day he pulls out the paper and crayons and tries to help him even though it frustrates Dallin to the MAX when Parker doesn't get it.

Well, yesterday Parker finally spelled his VERY first word all by himself. He came running up to me holding THIS piece of paper:

Gee...I'm just SO proud. Dallin thought it was the most awesome and hilarious thing ever when I showed it to him after he came home from school. Sigh.......boys.
