That is one of the first words most kids learn to recognize, and they LOVE to see it!Laura (The SEEDS Network)http://www.theseedsblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1139267038363003129.post-37739498854848484572011-09-02T08:20:15.518-04:002011-09-02T08:20:15.518-04:00So many ways to make our mark in time! :)So many ways to make our mark in time! :)KAREN GREENhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08773841233539637542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1139267038363003129.post-12839898157481903052011-09-02T04:02:42.063-04:002011-09-02T04:02:42.063-04:00So many good ideas, Ayn!

I have to also agree with Donna, using complex words in the correct context is achievable & wonderful to witness. I have a toddler who can identify several dinosaurs by using their very lengthy names - stegosaurus, triceratops, diplodicus, etc.<br /><br />You're doing a wonderful job!Greghttp://malesinearlychildhood.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1139267038363003129.post-88970408901340061402011-09-01T08:51:55.929-04:002011-09-01T08:51:55.929-04:00Some great ideas here, Ayn.
