My Baby Can Read. Sort Of.

Have you seen the infomercial for the "Your Baby Can Read"? It shows these youngsters in diapers, "reading" flashcards of words they've seen on a DVD and on the flashcards. The kids memorize the shapes of the words in order to "read" them.

Case in point-Bryce. I do not see the need to constantly flashcard a baby/toddler to train him to "read", but sometimes that just happens in life-accidently.

I have to chuckle, as a friend recently posted video of her son "reading" the animal names on some sturdy cards & matching the word to the right animal. Good for him. But Bryce-can he "read" animal cards? Nope. He "reads" STORE LOGOS. Nice.

A Meijer ad was on TV and they show the logo at the end of the ad. Bryce starts pointing and saying "Muhmuh" which we FINALLY figured out was Meijer. Great. First word the kid says spontaneously is Meijer. Guess I should cut back the shopping.
