Jeremy and I recently learned the hard way that gone are the days we can spell out a word when speaking in "code" around the boys. I had spelled out a word for Jeremy, and before he could respond, Connor piped up "candy?" Connor has been using and improving his newfound spelling skills on a daily basis.
A few days ago, as Connor was finishing up a bowl of ice cream after dinner:
Connor: "M-O-M, M-O-R-E P-L-E-A-S-E."
Daddy: "N-O W-A-Y!"
Mommy: "Just E-A-T! It's almost time for B-E-D."
Riley (not to be left out): "Q-R-S"
For the most part, Riley knows the alphabet, as long as you say it with him. He refuses to say it by himself. Through several recent conversations, it's apparent that those three letters are the ones that stick in his mind the most.
Tonight, as we were driving to Grandma and Grandpa's for dinner, Connor said, "I know how to spell 'ing' . . . I-N-G." Without hesitating, Riley replied, "No Nonnor, Q-R-S spells it."
