ABC's

So we have this Melissa & Doug ABC puzzle. It was a gift for Pippa when she was very small and for a long time it just sat not being used or looked at or played with. Then Pippa began getting interested in letters so she would play with it, then William got to about 16 months and REALLY got interested in letters. Now, it's basically his and everyday he pulls it out and chooses 2 letters to carry around like his life depended on it. At the end of everyday I have to go around and pick up all the scattered pieces.


Whenever he is carrying these letters around we would always tell him what they are, plus he loves to watch WordWorld and Super Why, which are both very letter-heavy. In the last few weeks though, we have been asking him what the letters are, and he gets it right most of the time! The boy barely says any understandable words, but you ask him "what letter is this 'W'" and he'll say "double-u". Sometimes he says the sound they make, like an S. He loves books, just like Pippa and I think those 2 will be reading Harry Potter to themselves in no time. Maybe they can teach New Baby how to read and save me the trouble.
