Harvard Early Admissions, are you watching this??

This break from the January 2011 Steamboat Update is brought to you by the letters W, S, R, D, E and X. And the movie "The Letter Factory," which made this moment possible.

Rowan loves this movie SO much that for nearly a month she would ask for it almost every time we got in the car. Unfortunately, "Guh-ree" wasn't in the Rowan-English dictionary, so her requests were met with lots of "Uhhh, what do you want??" and blank stares.

She quickly made up for all that lost time by dedicating almost every letter in the alphabet (and its coordinating sound) to memory and practicing them regularly in the tub.

I, on the other hand, still dedicate the majority of bathtime to trying to stealthily drink the water. In my defense, though, I do already know all my letters.
