Learning to read

Ok, so Rachel is doing really well at learning all her letters and their sounds. So we decided to try out an easy one today. I wrote the letters... D-O-G. Together we sounded out each letter slowly and then sped up until the sounds made the word DOG. She got it and giggled. Then she talked about Sebastian for a while. Later on I showed her the word again and the following conversation happened.

Mom - Rachel, what is this word? (pointing to the DOG letters)
Rachel - (after looking at it intently) SEBASTIAN!!!

Well she is kinda of right...Sebastian is a dog :-)

Popcorn Shrimp

So we were eating lunch at Logans Roadhouse which is one of Rachel's favorite places because of the peanuts. She always gets popcorn shrimp there. I have never seen a kid use a fork with a little bitty popcorn shrimp on it and just nibble on it rather than pop it in her mouth like popcorn, but to each their own. This day was funny because as she was nibbling one on her fork the breading fell completely off of it. Her eyes got big as she stared at the shrimp piece still on the fork and said.....

"Look it's naked and its pink!"
