I remember when Ares started talking, I'd start typing the words that he knew (at 16 months old). I don't plan on doing this for reading, but this past Saturday, while we were at Arby's, the kid floored me. Absolutely floored me.
Next to the fountain drinks are the pumps for the different sauces Arby's has. They pump into a small paper thing rather than having packets out.
Ares: Mom, where's the horsey sauce?
Me: In the middle.
Ares: Where's the Arby's sauce?
Me: To the right of it.
Ares: What's thi.... Tomato!
Me: Huh?
Ares: That says 'tomato'!
Me: ....
Ares: What's tomato sauce?
Me: Ketchup, it's ketchup. The label right there says "tomato ketchup". Awesome job! Did you read that?!
Ares: Of course.
(He had to have, there was no one else around, we were the only ones in the restaurant.)
