I am wondering how DD got to be so smart... oh, wait... yup, that was me!

DD 5, just read me a 40 page first grade reading book and only had trouble with 3 words, she was able to sound out the rest of the words that she has not learned yet. Not bad for a kindergarten kid who FINALLY got to go back to school today after two and a half weeks off because of the snow!

I am very proud of her. She is really excited about reading so I am hoping to encourage her as much as I can.

oh, I should probably add that 40 pages sounds like a lot but there are only one or two sentences per page... but still!
