Lily's favorite thing to do these days is to learn to spell new words. She is always asking me, what does ---- start with, what does ----- start with? She knows how to spell lost of words, she also knows lots of words that start with each letter of the alphabet. It is just something fun we do to pass the time.
But, lately her favorite game to play is something she made up called, wrong letter.
She tells me, Alligator starts with Zand I laugh and say
Zebra starts with A.She laughs and says
Goat starts with Wand I respond
Watermelon starts with G.She will do this for ages. I tell myself this is a good thing because we are having fun and she is learning. I am trying to see if she will see the patterns in how I answer her or if she will pick up and add some patterns into her game. So far I do not think she sees the patterns.
My only worry is that when she goes to school she will answer all the questions intentionally wrong to be funny. Oh well, she has found a way to combine all her favorite things: telling jokes, talking about letters, and being contrary. Mostly she just likes to be bad. She gets that from her dad.

D's speech therapist asked me last week if I thought he was answering intentionally incorrectly. I said that I totally KNEW he was. This started last week when, to hold his attention, I read Goodnight Moon incorrectly so he could "help" me fix the lines. She was amused, but not so much.
it's cute when they're being so clever. but the punkiness, ah, that gets old quickly.
When Jake was little we used to tell him his elbow was his knee, and his wrist was his foot, etc. He thought it was hilarious. :D
That's a cute game. It'll be fun when she picks up the pattern and starts giving you things like "bear starts with X"!
