Madilyn Can Spell Her Name

Madilyn is 25 months. I made up a song for her to learn how to spell her name. It is to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, little star. It goes like this; M-A-D-I-L-Y-N, that's my name it spells Madilyn. We were at the Doctor for Norah on Thursday and I was singing the song to her and I asked her if she could sing it to me. And she did, PERFECTLY. She loved the praise that she got for her accomplishment. We called Daddy and her Grandma's and she sung them the song too. It was very exciting. Madilyn, by her second birthday could count to 13, sing her ABC's, She know all of her capital letters, all her shapes (including pentagon and octagon). She knows the name and sound of most every animal. Last week she recited all of the words from Dr. Suess' The Foot Book and Hands, Hands, Fingers Thumb. We think she is pretty smart. I love this age. Their minds are moving at a million miles an hour trying to learn everything.
