Tonight I sat down at the computer when Phearson climbed right up onto my lap. My sweet little "almost" 3 yr old began pointing to different letters and numbers asking me what each one was. All was going good, with him even identifying some of the letters himself ,when all of the sudden the following conversation occurred...Phearson: "What is this?" (pointing to the letter U)
Mom: "That is U."
Phearson: "No, that's not me." (smiling)
Mom: "No, that is the Letter U."
Phearson: "That's not me mommy."
Mom: "I know. That is a letter and the name of that letter is U."
Phearson: "What did you say mommy?"
Mom: "That is a letter... and the name of that letter is U." (Trying not to laugh)
Phearson: "Me?"
Mom: "No, that letter is not "Phearson" it is called U."
Phearson: (Looking confused and pointing to the letter T) "So Is that letter "mommy"?"
Mom: "No Phearson. That is the letter T. And this is the letter U. (once again pointing to the letter U on the keyboard and unable to hold back the laughter at this point)
Phearson: "No mommy, that Is Not Me" (now laughing himself too)
Sigh...
I guess we will try again tomorrow...
Learning your letters can be confusing!

"U" had me laughing out loud! That was too FUNNY!!! What a great story.
Too funny. That was kind of how my conversation with Cody went when I explained that Grandma Bell lived in Utah and he asked, "MY-Tah" and I had to explain Utah was a state.
I had to chuckle myself reading that post. He is such a cutie.
that is so so funny!! I love it
I love kids perspectives on things- it's so fun to see it from their viewpoint!
I thought that was so funny. What a memorable conversation. He is so cute, and you are good to try to explain it to him.
