Wow! I only watched the first minute and a half, but I was very impressed! Your little Evie is so smart. I can't believe how many letters she already knows. Her speech is fantastic!

Wow! We are impressed! You make me want to go out and buy letter flash cards! We've just been working here and there on the letters in the bathtub!

We bought the flash cards for a long car trip that we took and they worked fantastic at keeping her interested and busy. It helped that she was already really interested in her letters at that point too. She loves playing with them (and throwing them every everywhere) then bringing them to me one by one and saying what they are.

I'm honestly completely amazed at how well she picked this up. When these kids are motivated to learn something they are all freaking incredible.

I am thoroughly impressed- GO EVIE! What a smart cookie Big Smile

Between you and Nicole I feel like I should be working with O more even though I feel like we are doing things too. Over achievers, lol

Go Evie! Cute and clever is a dynamic combination.

Evie and B must be a bit similar - he loves being quizzed on what he knows. For him it started with animal noises and body parts. Carseat fussiness is almost always stopped by a well-timed, "what does a bird say?" or "B, do you want to say the alphabet?"

Way to go, Evie!

I need to invest in some alphabet flash cards - so much more efficient than the foam mat letters, lol!!

She loves being quizzed. We first noticed it this spring when she kept bringing us a book that had a cow, a sheep, and a pig in it. She would get so excited every time we asked her "what does a ___ say?" that we just kept it up.
