N can write her first name. Hooray! She did it all by herself on Monday and just beamed.
In working with her on the letters of her name, N introduced me to a new letter, or perhaps it is an ancient symbol that she recalls from a previous incarnation. She calls it a torteeum. It looks like an rounded A with a line at the bottom. Whenever she would work on her A, she would draw this, sigh heavily, and say, "I made a torteeum again."
Today she saw an overripe banana on the kitchen counter and asked, "Is this banana sick?" I guess since she is running a fever she thinks that banana looks the way she feels.
She visited the dentist on Monday (no cavities) and was given 3 little plastic horses from the goody bag. Tonight while playing, she asked me what I was gonna name the pink one that was "mine." I said Pegasus. She named the other 2 Jajuwa and Taduwa. Isn't there a joke about those names??? Oh no, that is lemonjello and orangejello.

I'm glad my child isn't the only one who makes up words and explains them to me in all seriousness. So funny! Since E takes spanish at school, she also makes up LOTS of Spanish words. Sometimes I actually believe her, since I never took Spanish, she does know a lot of real spanish words and they often sound pretty believable (or at least they do to someone who knows no spanish).
