Monkey looooves penguins, it started with The Penguins of Madagascar. He thinks the show is HILARIOUS (and so do I, I love King Julian!) For the longest time he would request the show by saying “Pens?”
They’ve started a unit at school that is feeding Monkey’s love of penguins now and within the last week he has moved from “pens?” to “pen-guin.” Each time he said it this weekend the two syllables moved closer and closer together until he perfected the word. I was amazed at the progress. I guess it goes to show how very well he learns when he is MOTIVATED to do so, lol.
I hope his teacher enjoys hearing how much progress he made over the weekend as much as I did. If she’s lucky, the darn penguin egg will hatch and we’ll be able to get him to say something, ANYTHING, besides “Penguin egg crrrrack” by the end of this week.
thats awesome that hes enjoying things happening at school and telling umma about it at home
Motivation is the key, isn’t it? Glad you found it!
