A while ago, Eli and I were playing his Reader Rabbit computer game together (a collection of mini-games for preschoolers). We were playing the "Alphabet Train" mini-game, where a train appears on the screen with 3 cars, with an alphabet letter printed on each car.
When a train car appeared with the letter "W" on it, and the game's narrator said "W", Eli spoke up, telling the game, "No, M!" Eli doesn't know the letter "W" yet, but he recognized it as an upside-down "M"! I thought that was pretty cute.
In general, Eli is really good at matching things that look the same. Another thing he did recently was pull the "Michigan Santa" and "Michigan Snowman" ornaments off the Christmas tree, and show them to me, saying, "Look Daddy, both have letter M!"
At least Eli has that letter "M" down cold! Now we just need to keep working on some of the other ones that he doesn't quite know yet, like that "W"!
