Melissa's reading has improved greatly! So much so that we purchased her a cookbook. And boy is she cooking! She has made both garlic and cinnamon bagel chips, purple cows (yummy) and Sunday morning she got up and made us some crepes. Yes. That's right crepes. Strawberry to be exact. They sure were good. Somebody needs to come for a visit so she can show off her new found talent!

How DID those kids get so smart?
That is the question.
Austin's guitar teacher came out of his lesson a few weeks ago and says, "Wow. His math skills are phenomenal. In fifteen years of teaching I've never had anyone pick up on the math/theory aspect as quick as he has. Before I can even finish my explanation, he has the answer and is moving along to the next part. You've got one smart kid." Well, duh....
Thursday, I was talking to one of Melissa's teachers and she asks, "So did Melissa inherit her smarts?" They had been working on reading schema and apparently Melissa is the only student in her 8 years of teaching that managed to get text to world concepts within a story. She was floored! Again... well, duh.....
