Growing Girls

Anna started to scoot herself backwards today. She does not like it in the least. She sees something she wants, goes for it, but only ends up further away. The poor thing just puts her head down and cries in frustration.

Yesterday Leah read the entire first book, the A book, in the Sing Spell Read and Write series. I used a process to teach Sarah and David how to read. Leah taught herself when she was three. Now she yells at me, "I want to read!"

Sarah peeked in the older Presidential class at co-op today. She was invited in and loved it. The teacher sought me out to let me know that she's always welcome, in a class geared towards the 13 and up crowd. (Now I want to take the class!)

My girls are growing up! (David too. I promise to post about him later this week.)

Isn't it interesting how Sarah seems to have interests similar to Jesse, David seems to have interests similar to Jacob, and Leah seems to have interests similar to me? (At least, we both taught ourselves to read pretty early on!)

And then there's Anna and Hannah... you know they'll be similar. :)

Yes! Now I have little windows into your childhoods. =) Jacob, I mean David, at the computer mastering a civilization game. Sarah experimenting and reading and soaking up knowledge everywhere. Leah right now is working on "being an artist for a museum." Does this mean Hannah was super cute, sweet, and doted upon, yet had a stong opinion of her own?

That sounds about right! :)

hshaha... watch out, Anna might end up wanting to make art for a museum too if you aren't careful...
