My [Adult] Baby Can Read!!

The ABC's of my journey: ACCOUNTABILITY - having 3+ friends on this journey with me. BALANCE - nutrition, exercise, and rest.  CONSISTENCY - set a goal and keep at it until it becomes a lifestyle! DISCIPLINE - ViSalus, WW, gym, whatever: they all work, but not without the big D!!

So! My Suga Buga Miss Regina posted the above greatness Sunday morning. I'm a skim reader so what grabbed me was ABC'S (my son Aiden only sings them a gagillion times a day and has me read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom a bazillion...back to the beat) ACCOUNTABILITY...BALANCE...CONSISTENCY...DISCIPLINE. <=== I neeeeed it in my life! lol

Does anyone know of anybody who began to read without having the foundation of the alphabet? I don't. The alphabet is fundamental to our learning. When Aiden was an infant I song the ABC song every time he cried. When he was 11 mos he repeated them after me! because of having heard them since birth! Once he knew what I was saying I showed them to him visually($4 floating letters for tub time), once he recognized them we moved to phonics and from there to his sight words. He is now 2.5 years old and reading! <=== step by step basic training

We go through out life reading in school and then once we graduate or go on whatever path we decide we sometimes forget the basic. How many of you still say your ABC? Ever look at them? NO...why would you right? your grown! Well sometimes we adults need to have a refresher that can get us through the now. I'm not going to sing to you when I see some of you (well, maybe I will) or make you sound out your vowels but I want you to think about your ABC's as you read mine and then think of your own. You are never to old for ABC'S!!!

I want God to be like "My baby can read!!!!! LOL
