back on the words again

After a break of about a week, i have started Winston on the words again.

I have now got a quicker technique of showing the words, and so far he has really enjoyed it.

He is a busy boy, so it works best either when he is in the car in his car seat, or  in his high chair before and after dinner... basically when he is captive.

90% of the time he is pointing at stuff ... often he uses both hands to point at 2 different things at the same time.

Today when i showed him his Hammer book ... we went through it.. i left a small pause before saying the words to give him a chance if he wanted to do anything.  and on the pages CAT, CAR and BUS ... he said   AT ... ARRR and B   ... which is his spoken versions of these words.

B seems to fit quite a few things ... like  bin, bus, banana ....  and if a bus and a banana are not in eyesight and a bin is.. why not use B for the word bin .... it saves time :)

As he seems to like it faster, i will introduce 2 new words in each category tomorrow.

I was reading NOSE IS NOT TOES to Winston last night .. and he was pointing at the words ..which he hasnt done with any other books so far.... i think it shows that he appreciates they are siginificant.
