Amelia has foam letters she plays with in the bath. She knows how to recognize every letter. And she's begun "spelling" with them. In her own little language.
She's in the bathtub. She pulls out a W and a P. She sets them on the bathtub ledge.
"W! P! That spells polka-dot. And it says movie! I like movies."
She adds a letter (D, if I remember correctly).
"Mommy! See what I did? I spelled pig! Wait. No, wait! I need more letters."
She reaches in the bathtub toy bag and pulls out two handfuls of letters. Places them all on the tub ledge. It looks something like this: WPDHNJTSXAC
"See! It says tree."
This went on for 10 minutes. When Daddy got home, Amelia proudly announced,
"Daddy! I did letters in my bath! I can spell tree. And movie. Amelia is soooo smart."
Ahhh, laughter.
Must be what keeps us from going wacky in the midst of terrible twos.
