Patience patience

Garrison is just beginning to put together letter sounds. He can figure out that snake begins with "s" and truck begins with "t". You get the gist. It is fun to see him get the majority right. He is learning so very much. I'm so proud.

Here is the problem: SIMON! Simon feels to need to do everything that his big brother does. If Garrison eats it, Simon wants some. If Garrison has it, Simon wants it (we've been debating new shoes for the past three days as Garrison got some Monday night. Just grow Simon and we'll get new shoes for you too!) Anyway, as soon as Garrison gets one right, Simon needs to get into the conversation (he is our most talkative child!) and it goes like this.

"Mom, monster truck starts with a b". "Nope". "Mom, monster truck starts with an s". "Nope." "Mom (he begins with mom every time) monster truck begins with a t." "Nope." "Mom, what does monster truck start with?" "Mmmmonster truck. Mmmmmonster truck. It begins with an 'm' Simon." "Oh, an m". "Mom, dog begins with p". . . .

Glad that he is exploring. . . but after ten of these. . . mommy needs a break. :)
