Anyway, we are trying to reinforce the concept at home as well. At the dinner table, we are each saying a word that starts with the letter of the day.
Yesterday was the letter "C". Because I'm a busy Mama Bear and my brain isn't functioning quite as well as I'd like, I gave a little time to what my word would be.
When we sat down to dinner Brother Bear said, "I have 2 words!!" "My words are: contrary and colossal!"
And that is the point at which I just about melted. Why? I'll tell you why. Because the word I had come up with, the word that I had actually put some thought into?
Cookie.
Has Brother Bear been reading the dictionary again? Those are some seriously impressive words! And if you're still on a healthy eating plan (WW?) it seems perfectly logical to me that you'd be thinking COOKIE! PLUS: "Cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C!"
ReplyDeleteAlas, you know me so well. Indeed, cookie came to mind since I'm eating fewer of them these days! -10 and counting!!! Congrats, btw on meeting your goal!
ReplyDeleteOh, and my alternate title was: C is for Cookie! Great minds think alike!
I totally agree--a countdown with letters should start with Z. Would the current plan be a "countup"? sdm
ReplyDeleteThat Brother Bear has got a future in words! So cute (that's MY very academic "C" word).
