I wonder how many times I will have uttered the following phrase before I die:
"The silent 'e' at the end makes the vowel say its name."

What it really takes to make up a house full of girls.
Smith Academy for Girls
San Antonio, TX
About Tami
I am a blessed wife of more than 17 years, homeschooling mother to 6 beautiful girls, and a daughter of the King. My husband and I jokingly referred to our homeschooling endeavor as the "Smith Academy for Girls" several years ago, and as God kept blessing us with girls, the name stuck. We hope this blog will help our family and friends stay in touch with us as we strive to bring up our brood to be godly women in His Kingdom.

Oh so glad to know I am not alone in this. My 5yo is learning to read and I feel a bit like a broken record with this.....delurking to comment and say that I really enjoy your blog and have been reading for quite awhile!
Nice to "meet" you!
It's also nice to know I am not alone. I'm on my 4th child in the line with two more to go. Don't know how many more times I can say it without checking into the loony bin! :-)
Too funny! I hear you. I have said that over and over again too! What about 'the second vowel is silent and the first one says it's name':)The joys of teaching our children to read. Actually the joy of when they finally 'get it'!
That one too!
