entirelysonjaA few days ago, Karl started asking me which letters start particular words. It's kind of an interesting thing for him to be asking, because he doesn't actually know his alphabet. Perhaps this is his way of learning it.
This morning in the car, he started asking Erika. He probably asked her 20 words before she got sick of the game, and the only two she got wrong were "arm" (she thought it started with R) and "tree," which for some reason she thought started with H -- I think this one may just have been a lapse of attention on her part. She did get the starting letters for ambulance and truck right.
Anyway, I thought it was fun to listen to the conversation between them.
In other reading news, Erika read me a book yesterday! Admittedly, it was a super-easy beginning reader book, but it was a whole book she'd never seen before. Whee!
