I'm just starting to teach Andrew the letters of the alphabet. We do a letter a week and we started with the letter A:Mom: A is for apple. A is for Andrew.
Andrew: No mom, A is for Frog.
Mom: No really, A is for apple. A is for Andrew.
Andrew: A is for Frog.
Then a few days later, Randy came up to me and said, "We've got a problem," and showed me one of Andrew's Baby Einstein Alphabooks. On the front cover of the "A" book there was a.........yep, you guessed it........frog. Upon further investigation, apparently J is for mouse, N is for turtle, Q is for baby, U is for dolphin, and W is for Owl. I thought that maybe Baby Einstein named these animals and that was the reasoning, but when I looked on their website, the frog that's on the letter A is named Shakespeare. Holy heck, let's just confuse the crap out of my child. If Andrew didn't LOVE these books, they'd be in the recycling bin right now.

That's so weird! You would think Baby Einstein would know better! Have you ever seen the Leap Frog "Letter Factory" video? James watched it and learned all his letters and sounds in a week! I'm actually not the kind of mom who thinks he needs to know that before the age of three, but someone gave me the video for free, and he loved it. Anyway, you should try it just for fun!
Note to self...don't buy baby Einstein Alphabet books. How retarded is that?
