My toddler is learning her letters and their sounds. She knows most of them, but occasionally gets mixed up. She knows which letter is “her” letter: N, and she knows what some of the letters say: S, M, R.
“Truck…tuh…tuh….truck! Right, Mama?”
“House…tuh…tuh…house! Right?”
Not exactly. We are still working on it. If it is anything like the toilet training, it will be a long process.
This past year has been a year of a lot of new things for me and a whole lot of learning. I have met new friends who have taught me things about myself and about my world. Its’ been almost a decade since I’ve been enrolled at a university, but I feel that this year I have been a student.
I’ve been trying to process, gather and sift all of the things I’ve learned from God, from others, from my family, and I think all of it is too big for one blog post. So, for the month of December, I am going to work through the alphabet, much like my toddler, writing my way through the letters.
I am never too old to return to the basics. And like my toddler (who will eventually learn that “map” starts with “m” and says “muh” not “tuh”) a trip through the alphabet might just be worth it.
ready and waiting for A-Z!
I’m so looking forward to this. especially the q’s and z’s and stuff like that.
when my reader number hit double digits with your posts i knew how far behind i was – ugh! sorry my friend… you know how much i enjoy reading your words. i can’t wait to catch up with this series.
