S-P-E-L-L-I-N-G
We are easily amused. Our family has gotten way too much giggly fun out of the fact that the spelling list that came home with Edith last week was:
know - under - where - why
We have asked Edith countless times in the last week about the reason for her putative absence of underwear -- and vice versa.
Alice wanted in on the spelling fun. The other night she was having "privery," sitting on the potty for awhile trying to master this toilet-training thing. Down the hall Tom and Edith were playing a spelling review game that they'd devised: Edith needed to get to her room to go to bed, but before she could pass through each doorframe from downstairs to her room, she had to spell one of her assigned words.
"Why?" prompted Tom.
"W-H-Y!" shouted a small voice from the bathroom.
"What?!" I yelled in disbelief from where I was folding laundry.
"W-H-Y! Shush, Mommy! I'm trying to help Edith!"

I would bet that Alice is the first child ever who has learned how to spell before mastering the pee-goes-in-the-toilet routine. I am totally impressed However, having gotten to the other side (mostly) of two very traumatic toilet training years of my two still illiterate children, i am not exactly envious.
I loved your previous post but there was way too much to comment on.:)
