SPectacular

The last couple weeks, Luke has been talking about his collection.

Not just any old collection. You might expect a boy his age to have a grubby old rock collection or a toy car collection. (Well, he does have 3 tubs full of cars, so technically, I guess that does qualify for a car collection.)

Nope. None of the above. What Luke has been talking about is his collection of words, specifically -sp words.

Here are some of the words in his collection:
Spiderman (the first -sp word in his collection)
Splash (oh, that's a good one, he said)
Speed (complete with the vrroom vroom noises that cars make)
Sprite (and it goes on and on......)
Sport
Spy
Spot
Spin
Space
Spark
Spaghetti
Spray
and his favorite -sp word in his collection:
Spit

I know, you think that I, his English-teaching mother have been coaxing him to love letters and words much like a Coach-father may encourage one to enjoy sports. But beyond reading books, I can't take credit for this one. It's just a SPecial Luke thing.

One -sp word I know he does not have in his collection: Spanking.
