Ready for School?

Briggs will be starting 4 year old pre-school after Labor Day.  He still only recognizes a handful of his capital letters (S, X, Z, O, B), so with the girls starting school I am trying to work more diligently on letter recognition with Briggs when we are home together. We've done several different games with all the letters, but that has been a little overwhelming for Briggs.  I decided that we should focus on just a few letters at a time instead.  Yesterday we started with A, B, and C and did several different activities working on recognizing and writing those letters.  While I was making dinner, I asked Staley if she wanted to work with Briggs on his letters.  I told her that we were working on A, B, and C.  Briggs interjected, "I don't want to do A, B, and C right now.  I want to do C, D, and 11."

And that, my friends, is why this is probably an important exercise.
