Writing Backwards

Sometimes when I ask Tyler a question, he will answer by “writing” the word in the air with his finger.  This would be fine, except that he is facing me as he does it, so that the letters/words are all written (to my point-of-view), backwards.  Yesterday he was “writing” an answer in the air very quickly, and I told him “slow down, I can’t read it that fast because to me, the letters are backwards”.  He pondered this for a moment, then proceeded to write the word backwards (to him) in the air, so that it came out correctly for me!  Seriously, he’s only 6 years old, take a moment and imagine that.  I am super impressed that we was able to reverse the word on the fly like that.  There are a lot of adults that would have trouble doing that!
