This video was taken a few months after K's 2nd birthday.  She knew the alphabet before she was 2, however, because we really wanted to make sure that the early learning activities we did were always fun, we were careful never to test her. For that reason, I tried to take videos only when she was willingly & joyfully showing us her knowledge. We have always felt it was more important to take advantage of the moment that she was enjoying showing off her skills rather than have her turned off of reading because we pressured her to perform when we felt the moment was right.  This is also my explanation for the pony tail out to start getting ready for bed, wild  hair do :) !
