New Words...

New words this week:

• Boo - He got this one from his Elmo book when they talk about a little white ghost who creeps up and says ... "boo". He says the boo part when we read.
• Psst - Another one from his Elmo books...he says the 'psst' part and knows exactly when it's coming and will get all excited that it's his turn
• Bus - This is mainly said in the car when he wants us to sing "Wheels on the bus"...and when he says it, he touches his hands together almost like he's saying "more" in sign language
• Toor - This is his version of the word 'store'. Every time we drive by Stop & Shop, CVS, or the Mall he will keep repeating 'toor'
• Ouch/Grouch - From his Elmo book (wow, these couple of books produced a lot of words for him), Oscar the Grouch is talking and they are lines in the book that Alexander likes to say
• Nanas - Word for Banana

He did get his progress report from Ms. Mary-Jo and while he did get As (Age-Appropriate) in almost all of his categories, he did get a D in "Words". Okay, okay it wasn't a D it was a SD for Still-Developing. He doesn't necessarily have the full vocab for his age or for the kids in his class, but because he understands what is told or asked of him and he is adding a lot of new words lately, I am far from concerned. He's always been a bit behind the curve with timelines but he's still the most perfect child in the world.
