Reading?

I am pretty sure that T shouldn't be able to read yet (he is 18 months next week) but over the last month things have been building up to it. Only a few words but still amazing, see what you think.


About a month ago in the bath T was saying B, B, B repeatedly and I wondered why. When I looked at what he was doing he was pointing to this...



Here is a close up as it isn't that clear




The next thing that happened was when we were out shopping a few weeks later. I was trying to find some cooking wine and wasn't really paying attention at first but then I realised he was saying Y, Y, B, A, A, Y, B, B. I turned around and looked up and saw a sign for the baby club similar to this across the aisle.



At this point I mentioned it to mum as I thought it was a bit advanced. Apparently I was an early reader too, not this early I don't think but she said she wasn't surprised.

We were in the bath again about a week ago and T started to say Baby, Baby, Baby. I looked down and he was pointing to this....


A few days ago he came up to me and was saying Chicka, Chicka. I looked down and he was holding a piece of paper that had come off the spine of his book 'Chicka Chicka Boom Boom' which coincidentally is an alphabet book.

I am going to try and video some of this soon, at the very least I should be able to catch him singing the start of the alphabet song, very cute.

What do you think?
