Child brag
Sesame Street has an episode titled, 'Bob's Deaf Niece'. I know
the title because we have MOXI which shows titles on recorded shows.
Anywho.
Becca watched this episode last week. Becca is now signing her name. As well as Mommy and Daddy.
Because my child is BRILLIANT! Off of one watching. She is
spelling out the words. And she is doing it correctly.
Nyah nyah.

Gladwell concluded his talk with a story he said his brother, an elementary school principal, likes to tell — “the story of two buildings. One is built ahead of schedule, and one is being built in New York City and comes in two years late and several million dollars over budget. Does anyone really care, 10 years down the road, which building was built early and which building was built late? … But somehow I think when it comes to children we feel the other way, that we get obsessed with schedules, and not with buildings. I think that’s a shame. … If you want to know whether a 13-year-old runner will be a good runner when they’re 23, you should wait until they’re 23.”
Oh geez, you're going to be a mother to one of THOSE girls who are smart AND beautiful. Some girls have all the luck.
