Yesterday morning, I put some clothes on the living room table for Alex so he could get dressed at his leisure. Shockingly, his leisure meant he didn't put any clothes on. So, as I was getting things ready to head out the door, I told him to put on his shirt and shorts. I was expecting the normal responses of how he didn't want to get dressed or how he couldn't figure out how to get his shirt on, but instead he chipperly reported:
Shirt...shorts...those words are really alike! They rhyme!
I was so impressed with his realization of how close the words shorts and shirt were, I didn't bother to explain that they didn't really rhyme. Apparently I should have taken the time to work on that lesson.
He wanted a snack when we got home yesterday, and I suggested yogurt. He went in the fridge to grab one and saw that we had 2 cherry flavored ones in there. He shoved them side by side in my face and declared, "These are both cherry! They RHYME!"
Matching...rhyming...close enough, right?
