Phonetics Lightbulb Moment

This morning as I was helping Meera get ready, she started talking bout letters and posed this question, "What letter belongs to lotion?" Initially I didn't quite get what she was saying so I asked her back (I always do this to see how she responds to give me an idea of what she's talking about so). So when I asked her the same thing she said, "is it s?" I realised she was trying to figure out the starting alphabet for the word lotion! So I helped her a bit and she figured out it was 'L'!
