Driving and development
Taking a drive with my kids is almost always enlightening. I have noticed A become more and more verbal, but today, for the first time in the car she officially pointed out each and every thing she knows the name of. Car, truck, park, light, bird, plane, house, bus, school, girl- and then “what’s that?” “and that?” for EVERYTHING else. Poor K could hardly get a word in edgewise. But when K did, she asked, for the first time, “Mis to utleb?” (What does that say?) while pointing to a sign in the Starbucks drive-through. I told her that the sign says, “Starbucks coffee, Drive Thru.” I think that means that I have to start working on those “See Jane run”-type books with her. I’m also not sure how she knew that the sign says something. While we practice letters and numbers together, I’ve not approached spelling and words with her myself. Perhaps this is something she is picking up from school? Either way, I’ll take the hint! This also means more magnetic letters on the fridge and more sponge letter time in the tub.
