In the book "If You Take a Mouse to School" there is an illustration of the mouse spelling "a word or two" on the chalkboard. This illustration caught Aidyn's eye and we ended up having a big discussion about the vocabulary words including "precocious" and "onomatopoeia." Once I explained that "onomatopoeia" means words that say the sound they make she immediately came up with several of her own examples, "Oh! Like 'clink,' 'knock,' and 'bang!'"
Later that week she was making lots of noises with her mouth and I asked her what she was doing in a moment of frustration with the noise level of the house. She looked up at me and said, "But Mom! I am making an onomatopoeia song!"
