Just a Lick

Tonight we were moving a few things around in our bedroom and we found a piece of green sidewalk chalk in the shape of an egg. It was probably put there some time ago when it was taken away from a child and "hidden." It is funny enough that we found a chalk Easter egg in our bedroom right before Easter, but Kiah made it even funnier.

Kiah was playing with the egg and Eli was starting to complain because he wanted one too. So Chris decided to take it away. When Chris took it away he saw there was a wet spot. Then he looked at Kiah and saw a green chalky mark on her chin and lower lip.

Chris: Did you bite the chalk?
Kiah: No
Luna: (chuckling) We don't believe you.
Kiah: It was just a lick!

Elephants and Alligators

The other day we were at the doctor's office, again! The doctor asked Kiah to name an animal that starts with the letter "A." Kiah thought about it for a few seconds and said "Alephant." The doctor laughed and said "I'll take it...this time." Later as we were leaving he told Kiah that Elephant usually starts with the letter "E."

Today I was working on some alphabet worksheets with Kiah. As we were practicing writing the letter "a" I was talking to Kiah about what sound the letter "A" makes.

Luna: Ah-ah-apple
Kiah: Ah-ah-apple
Luna: (pointing to an alligator) what is this?
Kiah: Ah-ah-crocodile
