Coincidence? I think not.

Daniel was just downstairs in the kitchen playing with his Leap Frog magnets that sound out words and letters. He was getting frustrated on a couple words and I was trying to encourage him not to give up.

me: "don't get frustrated...put one of the red ones in the middle (the vowels) and put letters on either side and see if you can spell a word."

daniel: [places the letters B - O - M in the slots] funky little sound signals an invalid word

me: "why don't you try another one?"

daniel: [inserts the letters P - I - H in the slots] funky sound....Daniel sighs..... "I don't wanna do this anymore, Mommy"

me: hey! Don't give up...let's try one more."

daniel: sigh.....[slaps three letters into the holder... N - A - G]

Nag? Are you kidding me?

game: "Great word!"

Some things are just not a coincidence.
