A beautiful double page photograph illustrated each animal, as in K is for Kitten, T is for Tiger, B is for Bird. S sounded out each letter, named the animal and talked about the photo with G.
All very simple and straightword stuff.
Until it came to a page with M is for Mouse. Picture a cute mouse sat with a cluster of juicy red berries he was just about to start nibbling.
S declared that M was for Matoes!
Priceless!
Ha ha ha ha ha - thats so funny! and sweet. She's not wrong. xxx

You'll probably call them matoes forever now. We still use cute childhood words and my two are 17 and 23!!! Eletum for elephant was a favourite!

Best ever! And I need to send you a photo of the adorable little girl that Big Lad and I saw when we went to lunch the other day. Tiny, blond, clad in pink from head to toe (including her high-top sneakers), and munching on 'mato slices!

I love it when they do things like that, it's so nice to remember when S is older.
