Tonight while putting the kids down Michelle was trying to tell me something and spelled out "B U M" so the boys wouldn't know what she was saying.
Briggie started sounding it out loud and then said rather triumphantly, "Buh, emmm. Bum!" He is learning to read and just kind of put it together. Without this tool in our arsenal, we as parents are going to have to resort to learning another language. Unfortunately for me portuguese is already a no go because the boys know more of it than Michelle ever will.
Like the Maginot line, you knew it was going to get crossed one day... we just really hoped they wouldn't.

Oh I remember that day! Its terrible! Good luck. :)
Yeah, it's both a blessing and a curse when our darn kids learn how to spell/read!!! Kind of like walking was, or talking....
Pig Latin might work for a while ;)
Good job Briggie. You smatt-y pants!
Awesome....the Brigg reading part. You're in trouble now, Blake doesn't try to sound out our words yet, although he's capable, maybe he just pretends he doesn't know?
