Learning the letter P is sure fun. It all started at our friendly local Trader Joe’s about a month ago. There it was…a BARREL of all sorts of squashes from round to bumpy and from white to orange. Tatum pointed and I said, “Pumpkin!” Then that was the word of the day for the entire Trader Joe’s experience.
It only got better. When we hit the sample stand, they usually give Tot an animal cookie (in the shape of a letter…so I guess it’s a letter cookie!?) When we arrived to the stand, she said, “E? I? O??” Sadly..no letter cookies that day. (Sad face) BUT HARK! They did have something much more tasty.
Pumpkin O’s! 
Delectable. A dash of cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and everything nice added to their usual Toasted O’s. Heaven. The mini cup of Pumpkin O’s lasted the whole trip, as Tatum squealed “‘Punkin O’s'” every three seconds. Tatum was happy. Mommy was happy (moreover because I had my hot piping baba (of sample pumpkin coffee!). When we arrived at the checkout, she alerted everyone in line, “”Punkin” O’s!”
The alphabet can be so fun, and especially when you get to enjoy partaking in that letter’s food item. (Except when she thinks a banana starts with “N.” (for nana))
In the meantime, we bought our own little pumpkin, and thanks to a DEAR person in my life, this pumpkin has become a Mrs. Princess Punkin-head.
(As she says, “Picture, please!?”)
The wonderful P.
