Numbers and Letters

The sweet girl was drawing on the white board this afternoon. I paused as I was walking by and contemplated this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
W T T F F S S A N T


The numbers seemed straightforward enough, but I wasn't sure about the letters, so I asked.

"They're the beginning letter sound of each number," she explained simply.

Given the words won/one and ate/eight, I thought this was pretty impressive!

I agree! A linguist in the making! :D

Yah, and this week I think she may be a budding politician too!

Ahh, is she getting caught up in the presidential election? This is going to be an interesting couple of months...

Indeed she is. She has good questions too! I had to explain the electoral college to her today. She seemed to get it pretty well, although my explanation was a rather simplified one (I told my sister I felt like I was explaining it like it was a game of UNO!).
