I forgot to write earlier about how Thursdays are phonics sharing days at Kieran's preschool. Everyone brings something that includes the sound in it, preferably as the first syllable but sometimes that isn't realistic (i.e. xylophone isn't correct for x, but box is). Beyond the letters of the alphabet we also have sounds like 'ch' and 'oo' and today's was 'ee'.

Last night I thought about bringing something green as a possibility, or maybe an eagle since the object doesn't have to be spelled like the phonic. Beyond those I was honestly blanking on alternatives. Yes, I'm a bit preoccupied.

Last night's conversation about the matter:

Me: Hey Kieran, the sound for sharing time tomorrow is 'ee'. What would you like to bring?
K, without hesitation: I know, Eeyore!
Me, hiding an 'oh duh why didn't I think of that' expression: Yes, that's a great idea honey.

Eeyore was safely buckled in Kieran's booster seat on the way there this morning, and another parent who saw him said 'Wow, that's a good one' and was surprised when I said that Kieran had come up with it himself. I'm so proud.

What a smart little guy!! How's he liking his school? And what sorts of other activities do they do there (can you tell I'm in the market for a preschool come September)?

Yes, it must be a similar brand of logic that leads my son to refer to the stuff in his soup as "tofood" and modeling clay as "play". Also, junky cars don't have dents; they have owies. :)

Hi. :)

We have a kid who's way attached to his "little brown puppy." When they do "something soft," he brought little brown puppy. "Something you have loved since you were little" was little brown puppy. Yesterday it was "something that starts with C." He brought little brown puppy, with a paper tiara-thing with cat ears taped on it, and a pink paper nose taped on, and little white paper strips for cat whiskers.

And I just wanted to pop in and show you this (http://geographile.com/mary/wedding/vows.html). :)
