That is where she picked up the weird arm movement when you ask her where her arm is and she walks like she has CP.

She went on and on about how great this program is so one afternoon I asked her to have the baby read to me. She rolled her eyes and said "she can't read out loud yet but she knows what she's reading"<br />Ok. I think I may have some swampland in Arizona that I could sell her LOL <br />I guess we're slacker moms in that we actually read to our kids instead of making them do it for themselves.Sandcastle Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909850898687059507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427017606136667147.post-2870327762770801842011-06-12T08:14:49.511-07:002011-06-12T08:14:49.511-07:00Being child free I hesitate to comment on child ra...Being child free I hesitate to comment on child raising but when I was a boy I was frequently criticized for being a bookworm and reading too much.

He was reading pretty well by the time he hit kindergarden and now, at age 12, he reads WAY beyond his age group. He came home one day after they'd done a reading test - they had to read 100 words in a specified amount of time. He was close to 275, nearly triple, (with comprehension). <br /><br />My baby CAN read, because when he was little, we read to him and made reading a priority in our lives.Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.com
