Looking Ahead
Fiona is going to learn the alphabet and numbers in 2006. I'm not saying that as an ambitious parent who's got the timetable figured out in order to guarantee the right PSAT score in 2019. I mean that Fiona is noticing letters and numbers, asking what they are, and even recognizing some without being prompted.
Her first letter was, to nobody's surprise, "O". The Cheerios people make sure of that. Since then she's added "W", "E", "S" and sometimes "A", "I", "L" and "M" (she almost always gets O, W, E and S right, which means she can spell OWES and WOES, which aren't words I hope she has to use too often, especially at her age).
She can also do a few numbers. When we were at the grocery store last weekend she pointed out every "4" she saw--which was quite a few, since seemingly every special at the deli was advertised at $4.99.
And, yes, we have refrigerator magnet letters. They're getting a workout these days.

I wasn't aware there was a "write PSAT".
Oh, yeah, it's one of the new innovations from when they revamped the standardized tests a few years ago.
And now the post is updated for typographic accuracy. Thanks.
