"....Now I Know My 'BDG''s...."

...Okay so this really deserves an accompanying video, but when I pulled out the camera last night, the battery was dead. Hopefully, I can get Sam to reenact his rendition of "ABC's", better known as the "BDG"-song.

On her recent trip south, Elise brought home plastic magnetic letters that we magnetized to the refrigerator so Sam could start learning his letters. Last night, Elise told me that as they were walking out of the house yesterday, Sam pointed up to the EXIT sign above the stairwell and said, "BDG". So, they must be working. He also has a toy shaped like a Palm Pilot or Blackberry that he practices his letters on. He knows 'K' best, because everytime he presses the 'K' key, the toy pda says, "K...is for Karate...Hiiiiyaaaaa!" So, now everytime Sam sees a 'K' he karate chops something and yells, "Hiiiiyaaaaa!"

The three of us were sitting on the kitchen floor after an early bath. Pete had gone to bed. Elise was teaching Sam the melody to the "ABC"-song. Instead of repeating, he was belting out a song like he was a finalist on American Idol that had the letters 'B', 'D' and 'G' in it.

I'm going to find the battery to the camera (no easy feat when you don't know what box it went into or if it even managed to evade being banished to storage) and see if I can't get him to put on an encore.

Come on, you sorta knew Sam was not one to simply repeat something without some embellishing or "mixing it up" a bit. Why should the alphabet be any different?
