here's a short video of greta playing with the fridge magnet letters. i am constantly amazed by her memory for letter names and sounds. she's getting pretty good at isolating the beginning sound in a word ("what sound does CAT start with?"). the best part of all this, though, is her enjoyment of it and her pure satisfaction. i think that's why i like this video so much. she didn't know i was taping her....i caught the very end of what probably went on for a minute or two. and i love the way she looks at the letters at the end and then comes away from it with contentment. is that too deep? it's that whole montessori thing.....
I can't view the video here at work so I'll have to see it later, but I totally get what you are saying! I am thrilled by Stella's love of letters as well. At the dinner table the other night she looked at us very seriously and asked, "May we go over my letters please? Stella starts with S!" We were cracking up. "Super Why" is a new favorite PBS show at our house.
