Surprise

AT Toria's preschool they have been teaching her how to spell her last name. Now, we've told Tomas what his last name is but never have we sat down to spell it with him.

At supper last night, Toria wanted to say her last name outload but she stumbled after the first letter. With a fork full of corn balanced in his hand Tomas quickly and with no hesitation recited the spelling of his last name EXACTLY.

After Todd & I gathered ourselves from the ground (having fallen from our chairs in proud surprise) we asked him how he knew his last name. "Did they teach you at school?" we asked.

"No" he responded (while shovelling in steak with HP sauce) "I just looked at it once and remembered."
