B is for bowl

some things sister bear surprised us with last night......

mama bear: "lets put your yogurt melts in a bowl."
sister bear: "B is for bowl!"
mama bear: "yes! good job si!"ster bear

papa bear: "sister bear, what does daddy start with?"
sister bear: "D!"
mama bear/papa bear: "YAY! good job!"
mama bear: "what does mommy start with?"
sister bear: "M!"
mama bear/papa bear: "good job!"
papa bear: "what does your name start with?"
sister bear: "S!"
mama bear/papa bear: "YAY! good job, sister bear!"
sister bear: "snake starts with S, Ssssssssss!"
mama bear/papa: "good job!"
papa bear: "what letter does cat start with?"
sister bear: "T!"
papa bear: "what letter does cat start with?"
sister bear: "T!" .."T-A-C"
mama bear/papa bear: we were stunned, she is starting to spell now!

later, sister bear has her yogurt melts at her tea party and starts to arrange them in a line. she starts counting... in spanish! "uno, dos, tres, quattro, cinco!" just the other day she was learning italian, saying, "molto bene". i have both italian and spanish cd's.. i think it's time to learn some new languages.

we were just amazed. she surprises us every day. she loves to learn and also loves to teach. i think brother bear is pretty lucky to have such a great big sister. i look forward to their interaction as he gets older. oh, the lovely conversations i will get to listen to.
