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
That's really cute.
ReplyDeleteKiah is such a wonderful, funny kid ... and she's naturally funny. Her great-grandmother had a fast wit, too.
ReplyDeleteAs for Alephant ... her uncle Wylie would spell words the way the teacher pronounced them: rarely was the word "for" spelled F O R ... more commonly we'd see F E R
