Pizza Day!

Nicholas can now spell his very first word, even if he doesn't realize that's what he's doing.

What's the word? Well isn't it obvious? PIZZA!

You see, every Wednesday at his new school is "pizza day." Mommy and Daddy like it because it saves us the trouble of putting together lunch. Nicholas likes it because he gets pizza and there's a song that goes with it. Or at least there is now, since he came home Wednesday afternoon happily singing the song over and over again.

Here are the lyrics, and you should think of the refrain from "B-I-N-G-O" for the tune:

P, I, Z-Z-A,
P, I, Z-Z-A,
P, I, Z-Z-A,
Wednesday is Pizza Day!
Woohoo!

So he knows how to spell one word. Of course, when he sings he slurs just a bit, and so what comes out phonetically is "Pee, zeye, zee zee ay." He'll get there though. And it makes him pretty happy to sing it, so who cares really.
