My Smart Baby

Andrina never ceases to amaze me. She has learned so much in such a short amount of time. I have actively worked with her on reading and she knows about 200 words. However, other knowledge she's picked up on through just being herself. She knows all of her colors, shapes, body parts, can count to 16, and recognizes most numerals just from going to preschool twice a week and watching some educational shows every day. Tom bought her a DVD off of eBay that she loves called Puppy Dog. I, personally, can't stand this DVD so I never play it for her. I find the characters in it extremely annoying so Tom plays it for her sometimes when I'm out doing errands. The DVD goes through all the letters and she's watched it several times but honestly, I don't think she's watched it since before Thanksgiving.

To made a long story short, this afternoon Andrina took apart her wooden name puzzle and told me what all the letters were in her name as she put it back together. She knew both the upper and lower-case "A" and all the other letters in her name. I am so proud.
