Elena was paging through a book last night. She got a little upset, got my attention ("Look at me!"), and stated very deliberately and forcefully, "I can't read!"
I blinked a few times.
Staring into my eyes, again she says with even a little greater desire to communicate, "I.. can't.. read." It was bothering her this time.
I told her that we can learn to read.
She pointed to her book. "O. Another O. Two O's!"
Wow. She knew what she was talking about.
We'll have to take advantage of this while we can.

To clarify, she was actually saying the short vowel /0/ sound, not the letter name.

Well, I am very proud of her, but NOT surprised! Her mom began with C-A-T, M-A-T, etc not a whole whole lot older, at Montessori of course. (I remember sitting with Serena in fuzzy red sleeper jammies on the bedspread that went with the Annie wall hanging, beginning those words.) Plus of course with brain-as-big-as-a-planet-Dad, she's got it made. Praise God.
