I'm starting a little project making some alphabet flashcards for the kiddies. Originally I was going to buy some but then I figured it would be more fun and probably more helpful as a learning tool if I photographed things from around our house. I want the objects to actually sound like the letters - eg. 's is for sock' rather than 's is for shell'. I also want to keep all the objects a similar size as I think it will be more aesthetically pleasing when they are laid side by side. Only trouble is I am stuck on a few of the letters. I would be really grateful for suggestions for the letters i, q, u and x. Eeek - do any child-friendly words other than xylophone and x-ray actually start with an x?
In other news Minty has an admirer at play group. It is very sweet actually. He spends his time alternating between giving her random hugs and stealing her toys. His mum told me he was asking about her during the week. Minty is blissfully unaware of the attention. She really does seem to have an infinite capacity to amuse me!
