Scrabble?!

A...F...T...V....W...T...H...O..M....R...S...G...H...X...Q....D....S...G....K...R...B...Q...Z...P...N....

John, Stephen and I played Scrabble this morning.  I bet you can imagine how successful that was! HA 

John loves "playing games" so I thought that would be a good way to expose him to more letters and turn taking.  I set the board up and explained that there was a "magic bag" full of "magical letters" :)  we each took turns taking one letter out of the bag and then saying what the letter was.  Then, John got to put the letters on the board and Stephen took them off the board.  If John picked out a "B" I would sing the song, B, B, B says bee, every letter makes a sounds and B says bee.  And, the game would continue. 
As I started loosing momentum, I decided to add colors to the mix.  Ex, I picked a K- K, K, K says kay, every letter makes a sound and K says kay.  Now, put the K on a blue square.   And so forth....  A good game for John, he was excited becuase he got to "play" a grown up game.  :)  Gotta love being 2!  XO John!
