"Wahn."
"Too."
"Fee."
"Foh."
"Airee." (It seems Harry has taken 5's place for now, but we're considering it an upgrade because she used to insert her own name into the 4 slot. It's progress, people!)
Top Airee Reasons I love Sprite's daycare:
Wahn- They are teaching Sprite to count to 10 and she's catching on to it pretty well. We can now hear her muttering the mantra to herself in the wee hours when she wakes up. (She sounds happy, dry too, it's still dark outside, and we're tired, so...zzzzzzzzzzz)
Too- She can actually recognize some of the numbers and identify them correctly which will benefit her in the future when all them numbers come with grading scales, so I'm pretty sure the daycare is behind this as well.
Fee- They've taught Sprite "Itsy Bitsy Spider" dance moves which has her impressing the hell out of all our relatives. We may send her on the road with this act. (Her encore will be "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes" since we found out just a week ago she knows this one too..)
Foh- She can now name most of her classmates so some of her gibberish actually has a subject even if most of the verbs and prepositions are still Sprite-talk. This helps us so when she looks happy or upset, we can tell if she's crushing on Bryce or just wants to crush him.
Airee- She's so happy there and we're happy she's happy. Amen.
(You totally thought this post was going to be all about Harry and Blue, didn't you?)
(Yes you did.)
It's great she likes it so much. I really don't understand moms who are so anti-day care. I don't do it because I work from home. But everyone I know who does loves it. The kids are happy. Everyone's happy. How nice you found a super place.

Ummm...wow. Jonathan is nowhere near counting. I'm really behind. I can't read your blog anymore. It makes me think my kid might be stupid. :-)

No! Lisa, Lisa, I need you! (What, too desperate?)
Sprite counts only because she's good at parroting. (Ack, I'm sounding like a trumpet! Stop me from tooting my horn!)
Perfect example, she has a book in which she can count up to 10 objects. She'll count the same object 10 times. She can identify some numbers, but doesn't know how much they signify. Trust me, Jonathan is not stupid. (Besides, he's so freakin' cute, he can get by on his looks alone!) :-)
