Lately Paxton has taken a great interest in spelling and he's getting pretty good at sounding words out and trying to come up with letters that fit.
This morning as the older boys were getting on the bus Andrea spotted a crayfish in our yard. A big one. This generated much excitement (I'll try to post some pictures later) and the kids enjoyed watching her set up a temporary home for the ugly crustacean to keep it safe until we could toss it back into the creek.
Later, as Paxton was finishing his breakfast and talking about the events of the morning, his curiosity about this new creature got finally prompted the logical question.
"Mommy?" He said; "How does a crayfish spell?"
Andrea sounded it out for him and he thought that over for a while. Then exclaimed,
"Wow, Mommies can spell anything!"
