The boys' current favorite song is The Alphabet Song. As in, "a, b, c, d..."

It was cute for a while. I humored them and sung along. Tory knows most of his letters, but he still needs to work on recognition. Ian is aware of the existence of an alphabet, but his letter skills don't extend much beyond that.

They started singing it painfully slow, like they were struggling to remember each letter. I sung at their pace, thinking they were just learning the song. A couple days later they started rattling it off as quickly as I could. Their preschool must be playing some odd tempo games with them.

Now the boys sing it constantly. They sing it repeatedly when bored, upset, or just sleepy. They still don't recognize letters very well, so I need to keep working on that.
