Ahhhh...the day of love. We have much love in our house these days as our family has grown and Valentine's Day is the perfect day to celebrate. As I was shopping for a little gift for Chase for Valentine's Day, I came across a toy that teaches the spelling of 3 letter words. I knew Chase would love it as he is a letter freak (he sees letters everywhere...the side of a swingset is the letter A, a pair of pants is the letter V, my Boppy pillow is the letter C, etc.) and already knows all of his capital letters (self taught to our amazement). The problem is that the toy only came with lowercase letters. I was able to find an old version of the toy from a vendor on Amazon that came with capital letters, so I bought it. When it arrived it was the newer version with lowercase letters...bummer. I tried to retun it, but the vendor eventually allowed me to keep it and still refunded my money (sweet!). I then decided to buy another toy with capital letters that could be used with the new lowercase letter word toy...if you aren't following I don't blame you...it was a mess. Anyway, we gave the toy with both sets of letters to Chase for Valentine's Day and he loved it as I knew he would. Julie was kind enough to come watch the boys for a few hours on Valentine's Day so that Dave and I could spend some much needed alone time. We had a very nice dinner and also went to a movie (I don't think we had been to the movies since Chase was born). We had a wonderful time. When we came home and were talking to Julie about the evening she said, "by the way, did you know Chase knows all of his lowercase letters?" Of course I did not. Ugh!
