To the people of Orange County wearing brightly colored ensembles, I apologize if you were recently accosted by a gigantic 18-month-old screaming out the color of your outfit with the intensity of a roid-raging WWF wrestler.
I apologize that yelling “YELLLOOWWWWWW! PUH-PUHHH!” once or twice didn’t satisfy said red-faced toddler, thus prompting him to repeatedly scream, “GWEEEEEEEEEEN! WHHHHYYYYY-TUH! WHHHHHYYY-TUH!” until you were forced to run away, clutching your belongings.
I also apologize if you happened to be wearing an athletic jersey or any kind of fashion displaying letters and/or numbers.
My child, as you will see here, is intensely passionate about his new skills.
Some video points of interest:
1. This is a short snippet of our original 72-hour video of Wito recognizing letters. He never stops with the game, PLEASE HELP ME. In fact, the only thing that trumps this new game is going to the sandbox and pouring a bucket full of sand in his mouth.
2. I sound like Bill Clinton when I say “R” after Wito does.
3. Wito has waved his arms in excitement just like that since the day he was born.
4. When we say bye-bye, have you ever seen a child look so concerned? YOU MEAN NO MORE LETTER GUESSING? WHAT WILL I DO? I CAN’T POSSIBLY GO ON!
5. And yes, I always dress my child like a little elf with mango pants.

February 12, 2008 at 3:52 pmWito is one smart cookie! I’m glad to see that he is getting good use of the etch-a-sketch type thingy. They can make a plane ride bearable. (much less paper waste too non?)

February 13, 2008 at 5:59 amWell don’t I feel like a dumbass for not teaching my kid jack crap about letters or colors yet. She won’t even hardly talk. I am mucho impressed. not only is he amazing at it, EDUCATION should be his middle name. The bye bye face is hilarious. Chloe gets that way when I take food away from her, not letters.

February 13, 2008 at 2:45 pmHe sounds like a natural learner! And I’ll admit, that’s both a blessing and a curse. Sounds like he’s loving exploring his world, colors, letters, numbers, and all.
