Letters

Emma is loving her letters. She is a lot more active than Lily was at this age so I have been surprised in how interested she has been in her letters, words and books.

Every night for bedtime, Mike or I, have to read her favorite books. She has a few Dora books, Super Why, I Spy Books or an Arthur flap book that she loves. She is beginning to show signs of the fabulous memory that Lily and Mike have and says parts of the stories with us. If we read, then stop she'll finish the sentence(s).

She can go through the entire alphabet and tell us the letters. She may not be able to sing the ABC song along with melody, although she tries, but she does know all of the letters. She is getting pretty good at identifying the letters in isolation and knows her name and how to spell it too.

Emma also loves practicing writing. When she sees Lily writing, Emma of course wants to join in. She is thrilled when I help her write words. She gets so excited when she thinks she wrote her own name, or Nana's name or Pa's name or Molly's name, which are the only ones she really wants me to write with her.

Here is Lily at age 2 with her letters. Guess I'll have to get a video of Emma now since watching videos of them is the best thing EVER.
