Next Time Won't You Sing With Me

Julie is learning the alphabet! It's not something I set out to teach her specifically, but we have a video about the ABC's as well as set of plastic alphabet pieces that I picked up at a garage sale. Recently I realized that the set was missing letters, so I snagged a complete set of foam letters for use in the tub. Once wet, they stick to the side of the tub or to the tile wall. Somewhere along the way, Julie has learned the names for several different letters. She can consistently sign and say A, E, I, M, O, R, and U when she sees them. She's semi-consistent with B, L, P, and Y. If I sing the ABC song slowly, she will attempt to mimic my sign and my sound for every letter. It is so exciting to see her learn! Also, this is one of the few areas where she is a bit ahead of her age-group. As we like to say, she's a smartie! Yes, we're biased, as always :)
