there's a vowel in each word!
If you are not into pop children's music, this is from the They Might Be Giants, Here Come the ABCs album. We were listening (and I was singing) to this catchy little tune in the car on our way to Publix. Ruthanne realized what I said and was really surprised that there was a vowel in every word. Before we even got out of the car she was saying, school doesn't have a vowel. I said, well what makes the oo sound. She would realize it was a vowel and try to think up another word that doesn't have a vowel. Then we got to Publix and our whole trip was spent with her looking at all the words around us trying to find a word without a vowel. She was not successful, by the way! You know, sometimes y!

When I was in school a very loooooong time ago there used to be a rhyme about words needing either a-e-i-u-o and sometimes "y" and sometimes "w". "W"??????????
Have you EVER come across a word that used "w" as the vowel? Not me either. I still think of that every now and then and wonder what the heck that was supposed to mean.
That's just to cute. I need to get that cd for Shelby.
Oh man...we listen to those cd's constantly. In fact, I heard that song coming home from Target this morning. My kids are addicted. Rosie loves the song about the sad D. She finds D's wherever we go and also points out the D in the moon when it is a half circle. I'm glad that it's something I don't mind listening to. So catchy!!
