This post is brought to you by the letter “B”
story? August 27th, 2008
Audrey’s developed a new obsession, one that I can finally get behind. Bears are fine, the ball thing, that was okay, and I could do without her love for the change box. But now–she loves letters, particularly those that appear on the stickers that identified her crib pieces for assembly. The drop down rail–it was piece B and I never got around to removing the sticker.
She’s never tried to climb out of her crib but she’s tried to get in at least a dozen times in the last couple of days. All she wants to do is point to the letter and say “BEEEE!” I’m proud she knows all of 2 letters (A was the first she could pick out) but I don’t want her figuring out how to actually get in the crib and translate the knowledge to getting out.
In comes Scrabble. We have a couple of copies of the board game and I brought one to the last day of SAT class I taught last week. Later, I needed to get a little work done and so gave her the bag of letter tiles.
They are her new best friend.

Better put pillows down on the floor next to the crib. She WILL climb out when you least expect it, and maybe head first. When they asked my cousin how she got out, she said, “It hurts!”
The child is definitely precocious. Better start that college fund now.
