The Spelling Bee

I love the spell tactic. You know when you want to say something you don't want the kids to hear so you spell it? We've been doing it for a while and I swear Madelyn can spell things like juice and ice cream. Well lately she has started "spelling" things she does not want say in front of Abby. It's really funny because of course she cannot actually spell. So today she said, "Mom, I think Abby wants her p-t-i-i-o-e-e-n*" (*or something like that...there were a lot of letters, I know that, referring to Abby's paci). Just another case of monkey see, monkey do.
