Please don't call child services on me!
I've been working with G on her phonemes (the sound -- or in the case of A, C, E, G, I, O, U and Y, the sounds -- each letter makes) for a while now, and the concept is really starting to sink in... except...
She isn't really drawing age-appropriate correlations between these letters, their sounds and the words in which they're used.
For example, in the past two weeks, G has told me:
B is for beer. (What, not baby? Ball?)
L is for liquor. (Seriously? The last time I drank hard liquor was... was... see, that's how uncool I am, I can't even remember the last time I took a shot -- and I'm sure my sensitive stomach thanks me for it.)
W is for wine. (Additionally, when she plays with her "Little People," her "mommy" doll is frequently heard telling her "daddy" doll that she needs a glass of wine after the baby doll goes to bed. Am I really that bad?)
Next week, we'll be working on the letters C (for cosmopolitan) and M (for martini).
This post was sponsored by the letter D, for drunkard, which -- despite the evidence to the contrary -- I am not.

Sounds like my house!!! Great story!
That's priceless. Pete identifies beer as a "Daddy's cup" and wine as "Mommy's cup". I guess I said, "that's not your cup, that's Daddy's cup" one too many times.
