I Spy, With My Little Eye (Redux) ...

I've told a few stories now about playing "I Spy" with the kids. So you know that we've been spying letters lately, since Milo's learning to spell. Willa just plays along, totally unconcerned that she has no clue what most words start with. Here's how it went today:

Willa: "I 'py with my little eye, tumting 'tart with D."

Me: "Daddy? Dog? Dancer? Dandelion?"

Willa: "No. No. No. No."

Me: "I give up."

Willa: "A bear, tilly!"

Me: "Bear starts with B."

Willa: "Oh... I 'py with my little eye, tumting 'tart with B."

Me: "Bear?"

Willa: "Yeah!"

Happy sweeping!
