ABCs & phrases.

There are a lot of letters around our house lately. Well, there are only 26, but you know what I mean. Anderson is really into letters and I blame his genetic need to organize and categorize things. It's fun to watch him learn letters but can we please get something else that starts with an X? I am a bit over the Xylophone. 

 He was pointing out the letters on the donation jar at the church doughnuts table. I told him the word was Vincent and he said, "Aesson Vicet Guver." True!!

My mom is so creative and always incorporating things he likes to make him learn. I got this Pooh puzzle at a consignment sale (I took a gamble that it had all of the pieces-it did!) & he drives his car/truck/tractor/train to whatever letter she says. 

Super Why app that I got free on my phone- he loves the pig game & picks out the letters. It's the only game I have on my phone. I am cheap;it was free.

Interactive alphabet game on the ipad is awesome. I was going to put a link, but just search for it. A is definitely his favorite letter.  He also really likes F, which is weird. 

Clare got him a DVD with a bunch of episodes of different cartoons & he will actually watch the entire ABC Dora. I love when he yells the answers to her questions. My favorite is, "Vulture!" 

Helping JPa & Daddy put together a shelf or table (I realize I should know what this is) in the garage. The parts were labeled,  A, B, C, etc. He kept pointing them out.

 In a desperate attempt to make consistent progress with potty training, I got this Thomas alphabet puzzle & he gets one new piece every time he uses the potty. We are only to F, so definitely still need some work. But, this has worked for  us way better than the sticker chart. Anderson is weird about stickers. Since he wears one on his face all day, it's not really a novel concept for him.

Letters on the chalkboard wall. We like a theme around here.

It's tournament time in high school basketball world which means a lot of time in high school gyms for the Glover family. Anderson loves this because usually there is only one game a night (instead of 2), there is a hospitality room for coaches (cookies!) & the location changes. His favorite place is Bearden because there is a giant B on the floor and he can say, "B is for Basketball!".

Shout out to Uncle Zack in the video. 

Here are some of my favorite phrases from him right now:

"Dank" (he says this for Thank You)

"Allright" (He says this whenever we remind him of something-usually related to the potty)

"One more time" (I cannot do his little voice justice here because the way he emphasizes words is so cute. He says this when he wants another book, another kiss, another vitamin, another chance to look at the moon...He has started taking the chewable ibuprofin and he really likes it. He says, "One more time medicine. Just one more time.")

"My leg!!" (Imagine this in a super frantic voice. Every night while he is getting ready for stalling bedtime he will say this repeatedly for us to cover his legs. His legs are always covered, it is just some weird habit.)

"Scu me" (he says then when he burps. So cute)

"Bobble" (It's back. I don't have any idea why I was mommy for about 2 days, but I am now a Bobble again.)

"Stop that!" (Classic 2 year old, I think. Usually this is when I am trying to do something crazy like buckle him in his car seat, pick out a book for us to read or sing)
