Lily heard the highschool marching band playing from our bedroom window this evening. She disappeared for about 10 minutes and returned like this! Formerly, she was in something that resembled Pippi and pj’s. She indicated she was “Ready to go see what they were doing!”, and was quite disappointed when she learned that they’d […]
This morning Lily was playing with the letters on the fridge and decided to build her name. Her full name. Until today, I was unaware she knew how to spell Cecily. She’s been able to spell, read, and write Lily for the better part of a year now, but this is the first we’ve seen […]
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 […]
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, […]
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.

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, […]
Yeesh, the last two days have been full! Lily made a new friend yesterday, and today decided to roller blade with them (and the entire run of kids on our street), as well as Russ and I around the neighborhood. She has learned how to have mama on her blades while Lils enjoys a very […]
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 […]
