I find it amazing that my 6-year old is doing double digit addition and subtraction in school. I'd say she was a genius but all her classmates appear to be doing it as well. They are also doing word contractions. I swear I wasn't doing those in 1st grade.
Last week she started reading chapter books "in [her] head." She's quite proud of herself. I think she's on her second Magic Tree House book.
OK. Now I'm just blatantly bragging.
I do have to say that the whole learning to read thing amazes me. The bummer part about it is that Joel and I can no longer keep secrets from her by spelling out words in front of her. She's on to us.

she's elizabeth. he's joel. the 6-year old is annie. the 3-year old is jonah. the baby is zeke. elizabeth likes books, movies, cappuccinos, michigan football, birthdays, chianti, girlfriends, and lots of sleep. the latter of which she has been sadly deprived of for six years. which is okay. joel likes books, movies, lots of coffee, chelsea football (of the english variety), days off, his bike, and sleep, which he has also been deprived of. he's also okay with it. annie likes reading, art, writing, nail polish, barbies and hot cocoa. jonah likes soccer, music, dancing, light sabers, books, milk and not sleeping. zeke likes milk, sleeping, being held and looking at faces. we live on an island. we travel. we play. we follow jesus.
