The time I underestimated Ben's intelligence...

Before I forget, I want to jot down this little scene that played out about a week ago.

While visiting the Danahers for little MG's birthday, I wanted to show Anne how Ben loves the letter O.  And also to have her hear him say it, because he says it, "bO" and it's super cute.

Anyway, I picked up the book, "The Pokey Little Puppy," and called over Ben.

(Me to Ben) "What letter do you see?"
    (As expected, Ben pointed to the "O")

(Ben) "BO!"
(Me to Anne) "Isn't that funny!?  But that's, like, the only letter he knows."

(Ben, as he points to the corresponding letters) "P. U. P. P. Y"


He showed me.
