I remember THE day when Savannah suddenly found that she could read the words quickly enough to make sense out of an entire sentence. She’d been trying for a couple months, after only having learned the alphabet itself in the same 3 month (total) duration, and though she had learned the various things I could […]
Reading "Books"!!
She has for months been in the mindset that she can “only” read words, not “books”. Well, today changed everything!! She read the following “books” independently, and enjoyed the animation, as well as the ability to control the story’s direction, in some cases. This is an awesome site for her at this moment of development, […]
Spell That, Color That In, Tsunami's, Water's Energy, and Plate Tectonics
Japan, washed away in a moment of massive energy liberation due to the same. Take a pencil, bend from both ends. Watch… it will break. The earth is no different… but try to explain the shifting of chunks of ground, pressing against each other to the point where they start to bend and eventually break, […]

Early Mathematics, Surprised Me
Today, Lily and I spent the day in Chama, NM. Russ was working on a new site build, so she and I went exploring. We walked a couple miles into town, found basically um, nothing, except a place to have lunch. While at lunch, she and I colored a couple pages full of fairies and […]
Now Which Language is SHE Speaking
I’ve taken to requiring 1/2 or so of the media Lily has access to watching is in some language other than English. It’s awesome. This morning I awoke after having had a dream in at least French and Spanish. I spent a good bit of time yesterday talking with Lily about various dances found […]
Self Directed? A Slight Bit Perhaps
Bugz has taken to dressing herself almost exclusively now. That generally means as some character either from her imagination or from some external source she’s taken a liking to. Today she was a purple wind fairy. She ate breakfast with us, and then disappeared to her room. About 40 minutes later, she emerged, dressed, and […]
P aA P A
She wrote P, then a, and asked if she could make a big A because it is a much better A… So, the second P A followed suit. She shocked us at the end of July demonstrating out of the blue her ability to write Lily. She wrote MAMA sort of about two weeks ago, […]
Writing
We went to breakfast this morning; Lily was given a color sheet by the waitress. She seemed very interested in the activities on the sheet, and deciding what she wanted to eat. She spent some time coloring in the various items presented, and then she decided to write on the “plate” (part of the coloring […]
