"F" Is For Grandpa, "B" Is For Grandma

Not only has our two year old taught himself the alphabet, he's figured out the first letter of each of our family member's names. He says, "M is for mommy. D is for daddy," and so on, including for his own name and the name of his brothers. We never set him up to think like this, he just did it.

Then last week, he blew us away. He started saying, "F is for grandpa" and "B is for grandma." Obviously, the letters don't correspond to the first letters of the words "grandpa" and "grandma." Rather, F and B are their first initials. Again, we didn't teach him the association of letters and their sounds, either. Really scary.

Alphabet Boy

With no input from parents, our two year old taught himself the alphabet with the Blue's Clues Alphabet Power DVD in just under two weeks. Now he notices letters everywhere and calls them out. He's scary.

Say What?

As we exited the house to head down the stairs, our two year old handed me his sippy cup in order to grab the hand rail. "Can you put this in your purse?"

Dad: "I don't have a purse."

Today Tomorrow

Our two year old: "Dad, what's today?"
Me: "Today is Sunday."
Two year old: "No. Today is tomorrow," followed by a big smile.

Bald Bat Hair

Mrs. Scott to all the boys: "All you guys need haircuts again."
Our four year old: "If I get one more haircut, I'll be bald!"
Our two year old: "You're not a ball, you're a bat!"

What Bappened?

Our two year old said "bapple" for the longest time as his word for "apple." He has started saying, "What bappened?" Even though you want him to say "What happened?" correctly (eventually), it's still cute to hear him use his own word.
