ABCD

Trev refers to the abc song as the ABCD's. It is really hilarious. He usually sings ABCD in school and when its a preschool day will usually re sing all the songs he sang in preschool. I am certain however, that he adds quite a few more songs of his own because "Holy, Holy, Holy" always makes it into the mix and I know they don't sing that together as a class. :-) Anywhoo, this weeks' letter is A. So he had to trace little a and "big giant A" today as well as color in an apple and alligator. Show n tell is Thursday and he needs to bring in something that...you guessed it starts with an A. So in trying to make this a teachable moment we talked about what we could bring in. Here is the conversation:



Trev what starts with an "a" sound?



Trev: Ball?



Me: No that is a "b" sound.



Trev: I know Mom, "a" is for Dad. (he then starts repeating the "ddd" sound.



Me: Trev, like "ah, ah, ah" that sound, what could we bring.



Trev: I know Mom...Al (his uncle)



Me: Yeah, Trev great idea, we will bring a picture in of Al.



Trev: And Amy, Mom Auntie Amy



Me: Great those are all "a" sounds, good job Trev.



Trev: Yeah and Isaac and Ethan too!



Me: Well Ethan is for letter E and Isaac for I.




Trev: No, Mom ....."ah, ah, ah", Ethan and "ah, ah, ah" Isaac



So I am not so sure if it was coincidental or not, but it was really priceless to see his face light up with Amy, Auntie Amy. What do you think, shall I send this picture in of Auntie Amy and Al for show and tell? :-)
