So - that's what we used on ours up until they were about four or five.<br /><br />Children become "bilingual" pretty fast.<br /><br />Cindy GrahamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8936630222019897817.post-77587362836189878752011-02-22T15:44:58.727-05:002011-02-22T15:44:58.727-05:00Oh yeah, spelling never works either.

We ...Code names don't work at our house either. We used a codename "D" for "dessert". The world revolves around that sweet goopy gooey goody at the end of the evening. It makes up for anything bad that might have happened during the day (long division) or whatever was for dinner (even leftover lima beans). But we don't want older kids even mentioning it until Toddler finishes his dinner. Hey, by dinner-time, I am exhausted and don't need another battle. The problem is, Toddler wasn't born yesterday or didn't just fall off the turnip truck, he well knows what "D" is.<br /><br />"Dessert", tho, he doesn't have a clue what that is.Mearownoreply@blogger.com
