Brought to You by the Letters M and S

We've started getting Siena familiar with words and writing. Either on the chalkboard or on this little Etch-A-Sketch type thingy that you can write on and then pull the lever and wipe clean (memo to self: get the name of that toy) we write names of family and friends, go over the letters, and see if she'll repeat them.

After a couple of weeks, We're proud to say that she can recognize "Siena," and she knows that it starts with "S" ("Etth"). She also knows "M," and that it starts "Mommy," "Mimi," and "MawMaw." Unfortunately, at this point she thinks that every word other than "Siena" starts with "M." For example:

"What do you want to write now?"

"Daddy!"

"Okay. What does Daddy start with?"

"M!"

"No, 'D.' D-A-D-D-Y. Daddy."

"Baby!"

"Okay, 'Baby.' What does 'Baby' start with?"

"M!"

and so on.

Two down; twenty-four to go.
