A New Letter

Eli has become quite proficient at recognizing and picking out an "E" from a group of letters so I thought it might be time to expand his knowledge of the alphabet. This morning during craft time I decided to test out a couple of letters on him. First, "L" as in Luke. I thought it would be nice for him to know the first letter to his brother's name. And besides, it's the second letter to his own name. So convenient. Except he wanted to turn every "L" we made into a capital "E." Okay.

I decided to try "M" for Mulder. I finished writing a beautiful capital "M" and asked Eli if he knew what it was. A huge smile came across his face and he blurted out, "Donalds!"

Oh, boy.
