Stuff R Does

--Say her alphabet and sing the alphabet song over and over. Sometimes she likes to go straight from "A, B, C, D, E, F, G" to "Next time won't you sing with me" but other times she sings most of the letters, usually leaving out everything between S and Y.

--Count from one to 13, often starting at three and omitting one and two. Sometimes she goes up to 15, but she never says 14.

--Talk about walruses. At the doctor's office this afternoon (yes, she has a double ear infection & a chest infection) she pointed to an alphabet chart and identified the W and the walrus immediately. This started when we read Barbara Joosse's Mama, Do You Love Me? the other day and she talked about how scary the walrus was. Then the next day she brought up the "scaarry walrus" and J wanted to show her more walruses to maybe alleviate some of her scared-ness, so he went to this Fisher-Price alphabet game that my friend CraftyQueen recommended and showed her the cute little walrus in that game. Now she brings them up at random moments, often to tell us that walruses are scary.
