A-B-C... It's Easy As 1-2-3

Emma has known her ABC's for a long time now (singing the song etc), but Dann figured he was going to go through the alphabet one letter at a time and make sure Emma knew every letter and things that start with each letter.
It was a long project as Dann and Emma would cut out & learn approximately one letter a week, sometimes two. They would always pin up the letter on the wall, which was part of the fun for Emma as she got to do a craft with her Daddy!
As of last night, they were finished and Emma was soooo proud of herself!! She had to make a phone call to spread the good news.
It is pretty cool now, because when we are going to a store or something, Emma will comment, "Hey that's a letter 'C' " looking at the Costco sign etc. She is also able to spell her name now and show us which letters start with different things. Maybe Dann should have been a teacher instead??
