G-i-r-u-m

As G walks around the house or yard lately he has been singing, "G-i-r-u-m."  He is very excited to know how to spell his name and his excitement has been the conduit for the knowledge to enter into the twins' head as well.  "G-i-r-u-m."  It's catchy.  We all find ourselves chanting his name aloud.  He even has a little syncopated rhythm for his jingle.  "G-i-r-u-m."

Knowing how to spell his name has helped him write it as well.  He happily writes his name all over the place: on the sidewalk with chalk, on paper with crayons (or a pen if I am feeling adventurous!) and on screens with magnetic dust.

Clearly, we need to work on spacing.  Good thing that the "G" has such a cavernous center in which to fit that "m" that never seems to fit until we work on that task.
