Staccato ABCs


"I daw suh-co!'

"Nice circle, buddy."

"I daw so-man."

"It's a snowman?"

"Yeah."


Cute contest: tie.

At bedtime, I turn off Rowan's light and sway with him by his crib for the length of me singing the ABCs.  I did the same thing with Lyla when she was a crib kid.

Think about how many kids get to the "L M N O" part of the alphabet and honestly think "Elemeno" is a letter or, God help them in kindergarten, "Enemeno."  Not my kids.  I hit each of those letters with its own explosion of air.  "L!  M!  N!  O!"  It's not very soothing as a bedtime technique, but if they avoid the Elemeno plague, then at least I will sleep easier.
