Mr. Gray Update

I thought it would be nice to do an update on Gray.

Not only for Dusty, Gray and I's own memories, but also so all of you can get to know Gray a little bit better :)

A few of Gray's favorite things:

Spelling - especially with his foam letters.

He's always surprising us with all of the words he knows how to spell. 

If he's not sure how to spell a word?  He sounds it out and uses the 'rules' he's learned when spelling.

Math - out of everything to play with the other night, he chose math flashcards, and we did them for quite a long time.

I love that he likes math, and spelling, and reading.

Reading - this boy loves to read and has loved it since he was two years old.

Coloring - I may have something to do with this one.

I suggest coloring a lot - it's so much fun.

We have colored together for over two hours before...his attention span seems to be expanding - coloring sessions used to last five minutes, but not anymore!

Planets/Solar System...his new obsession.

Let's be honest here, he knows much more about them than I do.
He quizzes us about the dwarf planets, the sizes, temperatures, distances from the sun, climates, terrain on each of the planets, etc.
He gets to pick which books he wants us to read to him at night and lately, every.single.time it is an educational book about planets, the solar system, the moon, stars, etc.

During quiet time the other day, Gray created his own solar system.
The sizes of the items he chose correlate to the actual size of the planet.  For example, Jupiter is the largest planet, which is why he chose the volleyball (the largest item) to represent Jupiter.
Genius I tell ya :)

Walks - he always agrees to go on a walk if you ask him.
PJ walks are always fun...

Although after about five minutes, he's ready to call it good and head back home.

A few other favorites:
Color = white
Drink = ice water
Food = pizza
Clothing = pj's, he would wear them 24/7 if he could
Toys = trains

I hope you enjoyed your Gray update!
