The boys have been obsessed with letters and letter sounds lately...thanks to Leap Frog's Letter Factory DVD and homeschool reading and phonics lessons. Whenever they see letters written on anything they say the letters and the sounds and if it is a word they try to sound it out. Anyway, the boys have some "Contigo" sippy cups (from Costco) and on the lid it says, "Auto Seal". Last night at dinner the boys were asking what the C-O-N-T-I-G-O spelled and what the A-U-T-O-S-E-A-L spelled. We told them and then moved on with conversation. A little while later I was giving Jonathan a quick bath in the kitchen sink when he saw the bottle of Dawn dish soap on the counter. He pointed to it and said, "Is this an Auto Seal?" I started laughing and told Daniel what he'd asked and the we both laughed some more. Meanwhile Jonathan just stared at me and then said, "Is it? Is it an Auto Seal, Mommy?"
So cute!
UPDATE: A few days ago (about a MONTH after I posted this) Jonathan was laying on his tummy and flopping around and he said, "Aden, look, I'm an auto seal!" HA! He STILL doesn't get it!
We LOVE the Letter Factory video! We bought it for Austin in May and within a week or two he knew all the letter sounds.
