Allison Wonderland

Little Sissy is leaping and bounding towards learning to read. It's all very exciting for her, but at the same time it's rocking her world. It started when we were reading a Tangled book about colors. She knew that Rapunzel was wearing a purple dress, but she paused when she got to the word because it didn't make sense to her. All along she has been saying "jress" and is still convinced that the books (and I) are lying about the real way to say it.

Same with "chruck" (truck).

I had to laugh today when we were reading Alice in Wonderland and she kept saying "Allison" even though it clearly said "Alice." Apparently they printed that one wrong too. Every time. In every book. Because everyone knows her name is Allison Wonderland.

Here's to hoping that she can rise above the conspiracy theory and learn to chrust me again.
