Father said, "you have to draw it out a bit. Like, making a line from the first letter to the next. Here, look. "Uuuuuuu-puh. Try, baby." The child looked at their father, in awe, in confusion, or maybe they just loved looking at their father. They turn back to the letter written on the whiteboard in front of them. A "u" and a "p" written. Their tiny hand raises to the first letter and they utter, "uh". A tiny dot marks its spot beneath the letter as the child points at the letter with their marker. The child points to the next, "puh." "Uh....puh." "Yes, baby, now draw a line from u to p." The child begins. "Uhhhhhh," the line is drawn towards the next point, its next destination, "puh. Uhh-puh. Uh-puh. Up!" "There we go!!" He littered kisses on them. "Good job, baby. Good job."
