We have letter magnets on the fridge and tonight Scott was bringing them to me, one by one, laughing and being cute every time I said thank you. The first three letters he brought were B W R. And I was all:
"What? C'mon kid, you are supposed to be the next generation. I'm expecting VHTR and SFR from you, or at least APWR. (Though I can't say I'd be totally thrilled with those four letters.) Get with it."
and
"Luke, cancel bath time. Scott needs an extra hour of reactor theory tonight because he is WOEfully behind my expectations."
At least it wasn't R B M K.

So now he's gotten it all straightened out and is spelling words like a pro? You should actually probably get a couple sets of alphabet letters and put them up there, so you don't stifle his intellect. What if he wants to bring you words with letter doubles Aardvark or Undulating?
Or Ellen! How is he going to spell that with only one alphabet?
You're right! Multiple alphabets it is!
hahahaha OH how I adore my sister! He will learn... have no fear. He will learn to spell fantastic words and all about medical terminology from his Wagner aunts, and don't you bet I'll get workin' on his reactor theory and Naval knowledge as soon as he learns to talk and read!
:)
This might be your best post yet.
Daniel didn't think this was very funny. Maybe he should cancel bath time and I should give him an extra hour of reactor theory.
He says he did think this was funny but he didn't understand at first because he doesn't speak "dork".
Pssshhh...
(I actually had to look them up on Wikipedia first too before it made any kind of sense.)
But yes, I will teach him to spell all sorts of exciting things as soon as he has some more letters. Why, just this week I learned about pseudohypoaldosteronism!
(It means that you aren't able to make the pumps you need to exchange sodium and potassium across your cell membranes = Deeaaaaaaathhhhh.)
(Sorry. We have a test this week. My head is full of things and they must spill out somewhere.)
Well if you let me put in my $o.o2 in, I think the kid will be a Flying Nuke Eng. Computer whiz kid who is a hell of a brain surgeon. And have the looks of a Troy Donahue, (look that one up girls).

Ok, now that Bill has explained this post to me, I think you already have a boy genius on your hands - no need to push him too far into the theoretical yet. Bill says: Maybe he'll bring you LOCA when he wants his diaper changed.
