Another Amazing Kiera Moment...

I know! Two in one day! Not long after the math moment, I was writing words on the white board for Melia to read. I tried to stump her by writing "Kerzon, Esther, Ziva, Isaac." I had to help with Kerzon and Esther, but pushed her to sound out Ziva. KIERA piped up and said "Ziva!"

I thought "OK, she got that one by guessing, but she'll never get Isaac."

Guess what she did... I know- long shot, but yes...

she said Isaac.

Wow.

So, I erased all of them and just wrote Ziva on the board. I showed it to her and asked her to read it. She guessed Leo, (I'm assuming because he's another pet) and then wouldn't give it another shot. I told her it said Ziva and she says "I thought that was it, but..." So she is really paying attention to more than I thought...

Just to test me I'm sure, not long after that episode, her work was to trace the alphabet and write each letter one time. We had TEARS people! Because, in her words, "she's just a little four year old who can't write her letters yet!" HA!

(And yes, she did get around to writing those very letters because the only way she was going to get to paint was if she finished her schoolwork!)
