"Bye Bye Letters"

Stella's obsession with letters has been ongoing for about 4 months now. There are benefits to this obsession, like learning her letters and their sounds, but there are also some disadvantages to the obsession, like only wanting to watch The Letter Factory over and over and over again. The benefits definitely outweigh the disadvantages, and most recently she has started to identify letters that she sees while we're out and about. She'll point to my CFA t-shirt and say, "Hi, f. Ffffff," and make the 'F' sound.

This past week, I stopped at the liquor store and had Stella with me (bad parent? nah!). We went inside, made our purchase quickly, and left in under 5 minutes. When we were pulling out of the parking lot, Stella said, "Bye bye, a. Bye bye, b. Bye bye, c. BYE BYE LETTERS!" Our liquor stores down in Wilmington are called "ABC Stores." Moral of the story? Taking your child to the liquor store can definitely be a learning experience!
