"N" is NOT an "O"

Rhiannon and I did crafts tonight which means that she had supervised playtime with markers, stamp pads, stamps, stickers, and paper. Special night making cards for the mothers in our lives. I got her started by writing those sentimental words, "Happy Mothers' Day" (I assume it's plural possessive) and "Love, Rhiannon".

Rhiannon can spell her name aloud. I taught her a jingle, but in order to make it fit the staff, I had to use a musical convention. So the song goes:

R-H-I-A N-N O-N N-N O-N spells Rhiannon

So Rhiannon takes her finger, finds her name on the card, and points to each letter, singing the notes. When she gets to the end of her name, she's befuddled and then gets really mad.

"Rhiannon, that's how you really spell your name."

"No it's not. It's 'n-n-o-n'".

"Well, that's the song, but it's right here."

"NO! 'N' is NOT an 'O'".

Schwoops.

Rhiannon Spellbindingly cute.
