Reading and Math

Yikes Anna! You are having an intelligence explosion! When you were little, you used to sometimes have "word explosions" -- actual baby development term -- for suddenly using lots of new words. Well, you randomly shout out math problems, sometimes adding more than 2 numbers together -- you just see math problems with the toys you're playing with or as you're eating a meal or snack. Speaking of eating, you must being growing! (or maybe your brain is using all those extra calories!) b/c you're eating SO well and so much! You're also very good at not eating any more when you're feeling full, even when treats/desserts are involved! You've been so polite and obedient lately -- I am SO grateful! I love brushing your long, thick, dark head of hair. You don't mind it as long as I am reading you a story. You still love your stories. Back to explosions, you are reading! It is SO cool when you sound something out! Just today, it was cool that you read "end" and also figured out the name "Mariposa" by sounding out "mar". You think it's cool too!

Carla, you haven't been eating as much lately, though you still enjoy most foods pretty well. Your favorite is probably still a cheese stick. You ADORE "Benny" -- so very gentle and loving to him. I love the way you gently push your hair back behind your ears. You don't much like your hair brushed in the last few months (prob b/c Anna), but recently you've stopped fussing over it so much.
