L-M-N-O-Pop!!

Jack loves going through his alphabet cards. He recognizes A, B, H, K, and S on sight but none of these are as fun as L, M, N, O and P. As soon as I get out the cards, he starts laughing and smiling and yelling. We go through all the letters and he always says SOMETHING after each one:

Me: B
Jack: Ba-ba
Me: C
Jack: gato (there's a cat on the card and Gato is his new favorite word)
Me: J
Jack: Ba-boo

However, when we get to K, he really starts getting fired up. And I don't even need to prompt him by saying the letters first:

"ELLLLLLLL!'
"EMMMMM!!"
"ENNNNNN!!"
"OOO!"
"POP!!"

Then he just says whatever comes to mind for the remainder of the alphabet with, for some reason, the exceptions of S, T, W, X, and Y. He can say those.

It's actually kind of strange what he decides to like. Today we were coloring. Sort of. At the moment, Jack is in his Jackson Pollock stage but he likes his crayons. He took them all out of the box and kept going, "Ohhhhh!" with each new color. I kept saying the name of the color he had in his hand, just to get him used to it. Then, out of nowhere, he grabs a color and says "llellow". I made him say it a few times before I believed it. Then he kept saying it all night, with the exception of when he decided he liked the word purple ("Perp"). Why not simple colors like blue or red or green? Nope, Jack likes "llellow" and "perp". But after I practiced saying yellow his way, with a lot more L, I realized it is much more fun that way!!
