Punctuation

In the last few days, Samantha has become interested in punctuation. I think this is an outgrowth of her interest in shapes. When we read books together, she points at the periods and says "circle" for each one. Today she started doing that with the dots on top of lower case i's and j's too. Exclamation points are "spoons," which took me a few minutes to figure out. I'd never thought of it before, but they do look a little like spoons!
