Funny story about Taegan:  The other day, I was checking Kelsye's homework and I asked her why she had written "TAEGAN" as one of her answers.  She said she didn't do it. So I asked Brittlyn why she was writing her sister's name in Kelsye's homework.  She denied it also and then said that Taegan had done it.  Then Mikaela noticed that "TAEGAN" had been written on her assignment notebook as well.   I said, "Taegan only knows how to write a T for her name."  But then she proceeded to show me that she did know how to write her whole name.  (I guess she has been studying the birthday sign with her name on it on the kitchen wall.)  So, then the next day she is with me while I took Nathan to a doctor appointment.  In the waiting room, she is writing TAEGAN AEGAN all over the paper.  I told her that she had forgotten some of the the T's, but she said "No, that spells Anderson."  When we got into the doctor's office, she announced that her name was Taegan and that it starts with the letter T. "Next comes A."  The doctor turned and smiled at her and said, "OK." She replied "No, E."  "OK?"  "No! G!"  This continued with her spelling the rest of her name -- the doctor encouraging her with "OK" (as in what is the next letter) and her saying "No!" before announcing the letter. It took us a minute to figure out that she thought that the doctor was saying that O and K were the next letters in her name and she was correcting him.
