Learning

Eleanor is learning new things like crazy these days...

and one particular area of significant gains is with the alphabet. She is working hard at learning all her letters - and is doing very well as they become associated with people she loves. She knows "E for Eleanor," "B for Benjamin," "S for Seth," "L for London," "G for Grandpa" etc. Every sign or T-shirt or anything with lettering now gets perused for Es and other letters she's particularly fond of. She also loves singing the alphabet song. Her version goes something like this: "ABCDEFG next time won't you sing with me." Although, it is constantly evolving and lately she's sung, "ABCDEFG HIJK LOMOP." Occasionally we'll get the whole thing out of her. :)

Here Seth was letting her "use the 'puter." Typing has definitely improved her letter recognition skills - but it must be carefully monitored, or we end up with strange settings changed on our computer.

Such a little smartie!

What I want to see next is a post about your drive home from Billings today! I can't even imagine what that was like...as I watched Bret snowplow at least two feet of snow off our driveway...I'm sooo glad that you all made it home safely! I was so worried for you guys. Thanks to Seth for calling to let us know you survived the snow-covered drive home. That's a drive you are sure to remember for years to come. :-)
