R . . . 3 . . . What’s the difference?

Ryan: Can you write on these buses so that one is for me and one is for Jacob?

I put a piece of tape with a J on one and an R on the other.

Me: Ryan, what does Jacob start with?
Ryan: J
Me: What does Ryan start with?
Ryan: R . . . 3. I already turned three.

The letters and numbers are not quite distinguished in his mind yet.

Ryan likes The Body Song on Kids Praise! 3. His favorite song used to be Sandy Land on Kids Praise! 2. We have Kids Praise! 1-3 and a Christmas one. I didn't know until now that there are 10 in the series. I listened to at least the first one as a kid.

Ryan's breakfast:
1/2 banana
Cup of Milk
Granola with milk
Dry cereal: Life, Fiber One, Shredded Oats, Honey Nut Cheerios, Cheerios

Amy took a walk with the two of them in the double stroller in the morning.
Amy and I took a walk with them in the evening. Ryan rode his big wheel. We stopped and played soccer. Ryan played some soccer but did a lot of picking up sticks.

I also thought I would paste below the books I requested at the library. They are recommended in:
