He has a book of the alphabet with Winnie the Pooh theme. His dad and he used to play a game of arranging the fridge magnet letters using the letters in the book. As Praveen would turn the pages, he would move the corresponding letter from the bottom door to the top door of the fridge(have I written about this previously?). He therefore associates the letters with the pictures in this book so much so that when asked to name a letter he sometimes names the object instead of the letter itself, or he recites in one breath, "M for Milk". It is never just "M", it is always "M for milk".
So far he recognises about 15 letters without any prompting from us. A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H are very quick, he knows "I" only as "Ice Cream" and can't name the letter, "J for jump", "K for Kangaroo", "L for lollipop", doesn't know "N" properly yet, "O" is sometimes a "circle" and sometimes "Owl", "P for Piglet", "Q" is more like "kuu" and as it stands for "quiet time" he shushes us with a finger on his nose, "R for vaddit(rabbit, in case you are wondering)", "S for sun", "T for Tigger" always comes out louder than the rest, he only remembers "Umbrella" and can't name "U", V also apparently stands for "Umbrella", and the rest is all "don't know.." until "Zip".
Give us another month or so and hopefully we will have all the 26 down with a pat.
