A line with a hat and a foot

As you may know, Cordel is just this little smartypants 

who could spell his name, knew all the letters, letter sounds, 

shapes, colors, counting to 20---all by age 3. 

And, God Bless him, look what he's teaching his sister now!! 

He is so patient with her and I absolutely love listening 

to him teach her.

She's 3, and this is how the conversation goes....

Sydnie: What comes after "S"?

Cordel: "Y"

Sydnie: A line with an up and an up?

Cordel: Yes

Sydnie: What comes after "Y"?

Cordel: "D"

Sydnie: Down and around?

Cordel: Yes

Sydnie: What comes after "D"?

Cordel: "N"

Sydnie: Up, Down, Up?

Cordel: (sigh) Yes

Sydnie: What comes after "N"?

Cordel: "I"

Sydnie: A line with a hat and a foot?

Cordel: a little frustrated---Yes, sissy!

Sydnie: What comes after "I"?

Sydnie: A line with three legs?

Cordel: Yes

 Sydnie: I did it!!
