Short Alphabet
Did you know that there is a short alphabet?
All this time we've been messing around with 26 letters when we could have been saving time using the shortened version.
A B C D E F G H I................W X Y Z
It was the Big O who pointed out the existence of the short alphabet to me. He was washing his hands, singing the alphabet song, as he has been taught, so as to be sure he washes long enough to kill all the germs. So as he was washing, I noticed that he skipped a large section of the alphabet. I pointed this out to him. "
Big O you forgot J K L M N O P Q R S T U V."
To which he replied, "No Mama, me didn't. Me singing short alphabet."
Oh.

He's been doing this for a while, say at least a month. I think He first did back in the beginning of April, possibly the end of Feb. He doesn't do it as much lately. In fact on May 7th, we sang the whole alphabet together while he washed his hands. usually when I try to do this with him he 'corrects' me and tells me the "No Mommy I sing short alphabet!"
He really likes his short alphabet.

It certainly simplifies spelling as well. Although it complicates reading.
So this is totally off the subject, but you should know anyway. There's a Lori Berkner kid song called 'Victor Vito and Freddie Vasco' and it's also a book and they drive from El Cerrito all the way to Alaska in it. The big O might like it. My 3 year old loves the song.
That kid is so cute! Someday I'll get to meet him...
I actually dreamed about the short alphabet last night. Freaky.
Katria--Really!! was it hard to speak?
That's lovely. He should go into politics.
