Can you pick out your name?

It's one thing for Todd to recognize his own name when it's the only word in sight-- for example, printed on a name tag, or written on top of his homework, or typed in big letters on the computer when he wants to practice typing.

But it's another for him to be able to pick it out from amidst a jumble of other words!

Today he did just that. After I blogged about our campout and was re-reading the post on the screen, he stared it it studiously. Usually his attention is captivated by interesting pictures on the computer screen, but this time, with nary a picture in sight, I couldn't figure out what he was so entranced by. He soon let me know when he excitedly announced:

"I see my name! Look! T-O-D-D!" and proceeded to scramble into my lap and point out exactly where in one of the paragraphs he saw his own name!
