CTTS: 2.5yo "spelling"

[Robyn Kozierok]

Evan in the grocery store parking lot yesterday:

"F-zero-R-D. Dat spells 'TRUCK!'"

How about my DS, who at about 3 1/2 spelled for me " oh-oh- t -a-r-g-e-t..."

He didn't get that the logo was at the front!

When my youngest was 3yo, we had an interesting variation on "I spy"

J: I spy with my little eye, something begining with w
me: tree?
J: Yes!

Or even
J: I spy with my little eye, something begining with three
me: window?
J: Yes!

Too cute!!

We don't have a Target but we do get explicit mention of the "star" in
Wal*Mart and Evan also always reads the tiny "registered trade mark" R
at the ends of trade names on packages. ;-)

Jarrod, my 3 year old, has a friend at preschool named "Diego,"
pronouced dee-egg-o. I guess when they've been doing the alphabet, "D"
has been for "Diego." So that's how Jarrod spells his name:

"J-A-R-R-O-Diego!"

I had that very thought (in a "just joking" way). Didn't Ford have an
advertising campaign along these lines at some point?

Great! A copyright lawyer in the making! (Or perhaps a copyeditor?) :)

My 3 year old is having a bit of trouble with phonetics. He asks me
to spell out words for him, and the conversation goes something like
this:
Me:"Truck, starts with the letter T. T-R-U-C-K, t-ruck"
#2:"Truck. D-D-D Truck"

Me:"Car. Starts with the letter C. C-A-R, c-ar"
#2: "Car. D-D-D Car"

We've got a t-shirt with the message "I'm a misc.kid" on the front.

When she was four, I told one kid it said "I'm a misc dot kid", and for
a long time afterwards she would read "dot" on the end of any other
sentance I was helping her to read. "Teddy is brushing his teeth dot.
Teddy is going to bed dot. Goodnight Teddy dot."

I thought FORD stood for Found On the Road Dead or Fix Or Repair Daily.

Is America's funniest home videos still on?
