X, Y, and Zed

This weekend has been a big shopping weekend! We got Grayson's mattress and Claire's toddler bed yesterday, which was so exciting! Claire is a bit confused on the fact that she is moving to a new bed, but we think she will be excited to sleep in it once it is set up. We also got Claire a new doll and Fridge Phonics. I was the most excited about the Fridge Phonics...must be the kindergarten teacher in me! Claire didn't care much for it when I showed her the new toy in the store, but once we put it on the refrigerator she has really loved it!

Claire is pretty good at putting the letters into the toy. Then, when you press the letter is tells you its name, sound, and sings a little song while repeating the sound over and over. All of this was super exciting until Claire pressed the music note button to hear the "alphabet song." That's when I noticed that the alphabet song does not say "Z" at the end...it says "ZED!"

The toy says..."Zed says ZZZ, Zed says ZZZ, every letter makes a sound and Zed says ZZZ!!!

I had totally forgotten that it was a Canadian-thing to use "Zed" instead of "Z."

Every time we think we are completely adjusted to living in this new place, something else surprises us!
