Every week Grace and Jack will be working on making upper- and lowercase letters of the alphabet. I asked Grace to choose the first letter to decorate this morning. Grace decided on the letter b because she said that Jack loves saying this sound and she wanted to make the b's for Jack. Grace decorated her letters with all things "b" - blue paper and buttons! Grace carefully studied each button and there was much thought put behind which buttons she glued onto the letters.
All of the finished letters of the alphabet will be hung on the wall adjacent to the staircase that leads upstairs in our house. I thought this would be a great way for Jack to begin his exposure to letters and sounds. It will be fun to show Jack all of the letters, sounds, colors, and items on the letters each time we are on the stairs together. Since Grace knows all of the letters and their corresponding sounds I will have her choose each letter theme. It will make Grace so happy to know that she is helping Jack learn. It will also be fun for Grace to work on an ongoing project that will take many weeks to complete.

What a gift to recognize at such a young age that learning is fun and can take on so many dimensions, and then, to pass that along to someone else. You are a wonder, Grace, and Jack loves all that you do for him.
Your button Bb's are beau-ti-ful!
XOXOXO,
