Hi Kim,
I finally followed up on the thinking blogger award you gave me.
Love your dictionary word of the day!
Have a great week.

When I first looked at this, I thought the word was going to be "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" from Sesame Street..... :)

Hope you had a wonderful Easter!!

I love this. I'm going to pop this on my five year old. He will love knowing he's an abecedarian--he recognizes and can write most of his letters, and is beginning to learn the sounds they make. And, less importantly, he almost knows the ABC song.

Many blessings!

I have an abecedarian in my house right now! His teacher sent him home with a baggie full of Alphabet cereal as a reward.

Oooh! Great word! Like Rebecca, I have one of these in my family! He would love to know that he has such an important title.
