I'd like to buy a vowel
Driving in the car with Jack has become my very own "Wheel of Fortune" experience since he learned his letters.
He's known all the letters in the alphabet since January. He has a little Leapfrog magnetic letter set that we keep on a board in the kitchen (who knew, magnets don't stick to stainless steel refrigerators) and he will run and get each letter as you ask him for it. This is all met with great applause and yay-ing and he loves hamming it up and showing off his mad letter skillz.
He even has a favorite letter: B, which is by far the most popular. Too bad I didn't have any foresight on this because he always asks us to add a B onto his name when we're spelling it out.
We live near a Best Buy and you'd think his head was going to pop off, what with the two huge, hulking Bs on the signs and the screaming and the pointing. Then he realizes there's an E, which is his second-favorite letter, and he's wildly screaming "EEEEEEEEEE" and pointing to it and generally acting like a lunatic about it.
But now he has started spotting letters on various signs on the road. And let me assure you, there's nothing that makes you almost drive off the road like toddler's shrill scream of "B! B!" from the backseat. I first thought there was an actual bee in the car and started hyperventilating because I have a terrible irrational fear of a bee flying in my soda can and not realizing it and swallowing it and it stinging me in the throat and my throat swelling shut and me dying. And I don't even drink soda, so you can see how the crazy has gotten to me.

OMG, I have the same irrational fear. I heard that that happened to someone when I was in 7th grade and I was scarred for life.
well, I guess it's a good thing that tidal waves don't happen all that frequently in Chicago...otherwise you'd be speeding like a demon whenever Jack yelled "C! C!"
This post made me laugh heartily. Hilarious.
So cute!!! Ethan is this way w/ W's. His favorite song is the ABC song with all W's.
