Just a Lick

Tonight we were moving a few things around in our bedroom and we found a piece of green sidewalk chalk in the shape of an egg. It was probably put there some time ago when it was taken away from a child and "hidden." It is funny enough that we found a chalk Easter egg in our bedroom right before Easter, but SweetPea made it even funnier.

SweetPea was playing with the egg and Bubba was starting to complain because he wanted one too. So Hubbs decided to take it away. When Hubbs took it away he saw there was a wet spot. Then he looked at SweetPea and saw a green chalky mark on her chin and lower lip.

Hubbs: Did you bite the chalk?
SweetPea: No
Luna: (chuckling) We don't believe you.
SweetPea: It was just a lick!

Elephants and Alligators

The other day we were at the doctor's office, again! The doctor asked SweetPea to name an animal that starts with the letter "A." SweetPea thought about it for a few seconds and said "Alephant." The doctor laughed and said "I'll take it...this time." Later as we were leaving he told SweetPea that Elephant usually starts with the letter "E."

Today I was working on some alphabet worksheets with SweetPea. As we were practicing writing the letter "a" I was talking to SweetPea about what sound the letter "A" makes.

Luna: Ah-ah-apple
SweetPea: Ah-ah-apple
Luna: (pointing to an alligator) what is this?
SweetPea: Ah-ah-crocodile
