Dani's Letters

Dani recognizes most of her letters. I wanted to show off, so I had her "read" her Backyardigan's alphabet book for me on tape. You can tell that she still confuses M, N, and W. She also confuses X, K, Y, and V, but otherwise she is typically correct. She had only "read" this book by telling me the letters once or twice before, so it's not like I quiz her on this all the time. She looks at letters all over the house and not just in books. You can tell she gets a little bored mid way and needed the dog to "help" her finish.

I also love how she says W "double- YOU!". Lately she likes to speak in beat. Just like she emphasizes rhythmically the words Lie-BERRy (library) and double - YOU (W), she chants "NEW Dia-per" every time she is changed. She made sure to announce to everyone during sacrament meeting that she got a "NEW diap-er". She also likes to say "bug SHOES" (sounds like the emphasis given to Ahhh Choo when talking about sneezing) every time she is going to wear her ladybug shoes to go out. It's hard to show the emphasis with just words, so I may just have to try and video tape these words for you. I think it is quite cute.
