Right now, I'd say she's got about half of the alphabet committed to memory. There's a few she has trouble with, mainly B, P, and D (she calls all of them P because the lower case versions of the letters look similar), and C and Z sound the same when she says them...and she thinks S is also Z.
There are some really cute things she does when we're doing flash cards:
1. If she doesn't know one, she says, in the sweetest voice ever, "I don't know" or "You say it!"
2. If she gets one wrong and I correct her, she tenses up and shuffles her legs the same way every time, so I can see that she's upset about being wrong. This actually makes me kind of sad for her so I'll tell her it's okay to be wrong and we'll come back to it.
3. If she doesn't know, sometimes she will guess and when I correct her, she'll insist she was right. For example, I'll hold up a J, she'll say it's an L...I'll correct her and say it's a J, and she'll say, "No! It's an L!"
4. When she gets one right, she is SO proud of herself. She'll clap for herself and say something like, "Yay! It's a (letter name)!" or "Yay! I did it all by myself!"
The fact that she can get through about half the letters though makes me so proud. My baby girl is SO smart!
