I love my family
Gathered all together.

*Stallone Tested and Approved

Stallone had a fun time this morning working with the letters in his name. I have been working with the letters in his name for awhile now, so he caught on quite quickly.  He loved pronouncing the names, and tracing over the letters with Mommy's help. This is an easy activity you can do, with little material, but is extremely important for your child to understand, for they will have to know how to spell their first and last name before Kindergarten.  (You'll notice in the pictures, Stallone had to hold on to his car while doing this activity...if any of you know my son, he always has a car in his hand. :)
