While Simi was in his 1 to 2 year-old classroom at day care, his teacher suggested to me that he was ready to learn his ABCs. I bought the foam letters and during bath time, I began to teach Simi his ABCs. We started with three letters and we made a game out of it. Simi quickly learned his ABCs.
Asher learned his ABCs, too. Since I bathed both boys together, Simi always answered the questions for Asher and Asher didn't get to learn his ABCs in the same way as Simi did. Asher learned them in the way Asher prefers to learn - by watching a video.
Leila, being the third child, doesn't get a chance to learn her ABCs. We're way to busy to teach them to her. She's already two years old and we have just barely begun to think about teaching her the letters. We just started sitting her on the potty (another thing we're late on. Asher was potty trained before age 2 and Simi was well on his way). To keep her interest, I've been teaching her the letters.
Perhaps it's her age; Leila is catching on tremendously quickly with her letters. She's going to learn them all in no time.
