Cole Reads?

Let me tell you the story.  Every time we go to a stop sign Cole says "S-T-O-P, STOP"!  Last week he was walking around with my one lip glass that says POP on it and we did a similar thing.  We have known he can recognize his name.  Well, today he was doodling on these really cool things he got for his birthday and I decided to experiment.  I wanted to know if he recognized the words when they weren't on a sign or a tube of lipgloss, or on the wall in his room.  So, I did this.  He knew what I was writing.  I video taped it the second time we went through it.  It was not rehearsed.  I was amazed!  I had him do it over the phone for Daddy who was also amazed!  Now, we don't think he can necessarily read yet, but these are definitely excellent building blocks for reading.
