L-M N-O

Ok, two in one day! That's just crazy right! Well of course I have all this free time & I just remember something especially cute (well at least to me) that Brie said the other day! She's almost 5 & has known her alphabet for a while now & she's also known how to write it as well. I taught her in all caps first & stalled on teaching the lower case letters. So she thinks her name should be all caps BRIE! Since she is now in preschool they want her to write it correctly with only capital B an the rest lowercase. This has become quite a chore (thanks to mommy!). So we've been practicing a lot! The other day on the way to Wichita she was writing out her alphabet one letter at a time & after each letter she would start say the alphabet all over again. So if she was on "G" she would write the "G" & then to figure out what came next she would start singing again starting at "A". Well she made it to M & said, "Mom how do you write elum?" It took me a minute to figure out what she was talking about, then I laughed (& got in trouble for laughing at her). I told her to say L-M slower because she was running them together. It was cute. Then she said, "Mom how do you write n-o (saying it fast)?" Once again I had to explain she was saying it too fast. I'm still not sure she got it, so we have added one more thing we need to work on!
