B-I-N-G-O-

When Genea first came, she was 4 years old. She, like many 4 year olds, did not know the alphabet or her numbers so I set about teaching her. Of course the most interesting thing to any toddler is themselves or another toddler, so I started with her name. And progress was slow. But when she got it, she got it and that is the end of that. Once it goes in the little iron fist of her brain, you can be absolutely sure it is in there, and in there good.
I taught her to spell her name using the children's song about the little dog named Bingo. So we did it like this:

There was a family
that had a girl and
Genea is her name-o
G-E-N-E-A,
G-E-N-E-A,
G-E-N-E-A-
AND Genea is her name-O.

Only, it turns out Genea had learned a few things along the way, and the right words to that song is something she had already learned. So, she merged the two in her iron fist brain.

G-E-N-E-A
G-E-N-E-A-
G-E-N-E-A
AND Bingo is Genea's name- O!

So I have a strange feeling she will teach that song to her own children this way.
