letters and numbers

We have been working pretty hard with Av on her letters and numbers. As in pick out the letter G and what does it stand for. She can count and say her ABC’s. For a while it seemed we were not getting anywhere with them. Kind of frustrating but then the other day I got out this big ABC mat. The girls loved it and were so excited. I asked Av where a bunch of letters were and she pointed right to them. She knows about half of them now. She can also recognize a number vs. a letter. I tried to come up with a friend’s name for each letter as an easier way for her to remember them. G for grandma and P for pap are her favs. We also did a lot of dancing on that mat. It was fun and then Av and I introduced C to “ring around the rosie.” After that we only had to do it about 100 more times, then dad had to do it a bunch more when he got home. C does not fall down at the end of the song. She just laughs at everyone else doing it but she will fall if you tell her too.
