Spell it
We often spell things around here in the presence of Milo. It’s fun when you have a child who can finally understand all the things you spell. If the kids are outside I might say, “In five minutes bring Milo in for his n - a - p.” Clementine knows exactly what I need her to know and Milo doesn’t have a premature fit because of the hateful word.
Another oft spelled word is gum. “Mom can I have some g - u - m?” from Emeline is a nice way for her to ask for something that I don’t like for Milo to have but he loves.
Tonight, Milo was still bouncing around after the girls were settled in to bed. Clementine got up to tell me, “Mom would you please but him in the b - e - d.”
“I’m headed that way now,” I told her.
Milo, ever attentive to our conversations started coming toward the kitchen, “I want b - e - d,” he spelled.
“You do, you want to go to the b - e - d?” I asked smiling.
“Uh huh!” he said and went right to the cabinet where we keep the g - u - m.

That is SO funny!!!
Dozer dreads his afternoon n-a-p but always begs for c-a-n-d-y or even resorts to swiping the g-u-m from my purse!
Love,

I do believe that you would WIN some sort of prize for that one. You should send it to Readers Digest or something. Too cute!
