Guess what... I don't. The way life seems to work is I spend the day trying to keep the house from becoming one large stock pile of dirty dishes, laundry and toys - I feed these two boys literally all day long - I try to separate the wrestling matches that are already happening (I had NO idea that a 3 year old and 1 year old would already wrestle...?!) - I do read books and plays toys for as long as I can stand - I attempt to keep caught up on books for the farm, house and church - I try to get a workout at some point - I try to stay sane.
Where am I going with this...? Amazingly enough, I did manage to teach Wyatt his letter sounds at, what I consider, a really impressive age - just over two years old.
Guess what... That's a lie. I wish I could say that I taught Wyatt his letter sounds. Unfortunately, I owe all credit to this magnificent little movie that we received from the mother of one of my best college friends.
Leap Frog Letter Factory. This is amazing. Wyatt was always so intrigued by the movie and I never paid much attention to it but would hear it in the background. Then, to my surprise, one day I was changing his diaper and he pointed to the word sign above his changing table and started making these noises. I thought, 'What in the world is this kid talking about!?' Until I realized, he was pointing at a "C" and saying "kuh, kuh".
This movie is spectacular. I would recommend it to all of you mothers out there. It'll teach your kids the letters and their sounds in no time. I really think Wyatt picked them up in just around a week... Then you can tell all of your friends what a spectacularly attentive mother you are and that you taught your kid their letters and sounds in a matter of days.
Buy it. It's on sale at Amazon right now. Leap Frog Letter Factory. Buy it.
